Intended to work similarly to ChatGPT, the CIA has developed an artificial intelligence program to be rolled out across 18 agencies to help analyze the mountains of data on the internet.
Bloomberg reports that the CIA’s chatbot will help it “find the needles in the needle field” that is the growing collection of surveillance data it buys from tech companies. Bloomberg didn’t learn what model drives the bot, which the CIA will share with other, unspecified intelligence agencies soon. Bloomberg quotes Randy Nixon, who directs the CIA’s Open-Source Enterprise division, as saying the agency’s data stores “grow and grow with no limitations other than how much things cost.” Agents will ask the bot questions to isolate info from all that data. I’m sure we have nothing to worry about.
