FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Thursday that he was deeply concerned about the Chinese government's artificial intelligence program, asserting that it was not constrained by the rule of law.
Speaking during a panel session at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Wray said Beijing's AI ambitions were built on top of massive troves of intellectual property and sensitive data that they've stolen over the years.
He said that left unchecked, China could use artificial intelligence advancements to further its hacking operations, intellectual property theft and repression of dissidents inside the country and beyond.
That's something we're deeply concerned about. I think everyone here should be deeply concerned about, he said.
More broadly, he said, AI is a classic example of a technology where I have the same reaction every time. I think, Wow, We can do that?' And then I think, Oh god, they can do that.'"
