Gen. Robert Skinner said the technology is one of the most disruptive developments he\u2019s seen in a long time, and has serious security implications. A similar warning was issued by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2023\/04\/12\/ai-tools-like-chatgpt-likely-to-empower-hacks-nsa-cyber-boss-warns\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Security Agency\u2019s cybersecurity boss<\/a>, Rob Joyce, earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThose who harness that, and can understand how to best leverage it, but also how to best protect against it, are going to be the ones who have the high ground,\u201d Skinner said May 2 at the AFCEA TechNet Cyber conference in Baltimore. \u201cWe in this room are thinking about how this applies to cybersecurity. How does it apply to intelligence? How does it apply to our warfighting capabilities?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generative AI in recent months was popularized by OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT, which accrued more than 1 million users within a week of its launch. Sam Altman, OpenAI\u2019s CEO, in March told ABC News he worries about how these models could be used for widespread disinformation and \u201ccould be used for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2023\/03\/02\/biden-vows-to-wield-all-instruments-in-fighting-cyber-threats\/\">offensive cyberattacks<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/it-networks\/cloud\/2023\/05\/02\/us-air-force-shifting-hundreds-of-computer-apps-to-the-cloud\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2840445.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US Air Force shifting hundreds of computer apps to the cloud<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. Air Force launched Cloud One years ago and has sought industry input on its successor, Cloud One Next, or C1N.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skinner on Tuesday predicted generative AI would not be a significant tool for \u201chigh-end adversaries.\u201d Rather, the tech \u201cis going to help a whole bunch of other individuals get up to that level in a much faster manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo how do we have the protective systems, the security and the network capabilities to support protecting that data and support our folks?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. considers China and Russia top-tier threats in the virtual world. Other foes include Iran and North Korea, according to the Biden administration\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2023\/03\/02\/biden-vows-to-wield-all-instruments-in-fighting-cyber-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\">cybersecurity strategy<\/a>, which promised the use of all instruments of national power to fend off cyber misbehavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mastery of AI is thought key to enduring international competitiveness in defense, finance and other sectors. At least 685 AI projects, including several tied to major weapons systems, were underway at the Pentagon as of early 2021, the latest public tally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DISA added generative AI to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2023\/01\/27\/generative-ai-like-viral-chatgpt-lands-on-disa-technology-watch-list\/\" target=\"_blank\">its tech watch list<\/a> this fiscal year.
