#Deepfakes pose dangers to democracy, business, and intimate privacy. They also hold promise for the arts, advertising, and accessibility. We discuss these issues in this episode of #ForeignCorrespondent, "Deepfakes and the End of Truth," available here: youtube.com/watch?v=6o5USjLn…
Some experts like @MatthewFFerraro say deepfakes could act like an accelerant on disinformation. #ForeignCorrespondent
I gave what I hope were slick insights to match my slicked back hair to @dohanews on the sidelines of the @GSECForum in #Doha. #CyberSecurity can be positive sum - if business, government and international partners invest in safety, we are all better off. Cc @Crowell_Moring
Speaking to Doha News at the @GSECForum in #Doha on Monday, Matthew F. Ferraro, a former Senior Counselor for Cybersecurity and Emerging Technology to the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, said Qatar was in the “crosshairs” of the regional conflict between the U.S. and #Iran.
Ferraro warned of growing cyber threats to government assets, including ministries, as well as businesses targeted by state-sponsored actors and criminal groups.
He praised #Qatar’s awareness of cybersecurity risks, describing its understanding of regional vulnerabilities as “quite advanced”. Ferraro added that strengthening Qatar’s #cybersecurity capabilities could also benefit the U.S. and other allies.

NEW: The US military was prepared to board a Chinese vessel in the Middle East earlier this spring -- during war with Iran -- after an intel report concluded it was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
But just before the planned operation, officials discovered the report had been generated w/ help of AI & chatbot used by the analyst inaccurately identified what the ship was carrying, sources tell @KatieBoLillis & me.

What he is calling for is basically the FRONTIER Act
America should lead the world in developing artificial intelligence, and that leadership must keep people firmly in control.
I’m calling on Congress to establish a consistent national framework for the development of frontier AI. It should require serious safety incidents to be reported, protect those who raise credible concerns, ensure independent evaluation of the most capable models and prevent powerful AI chips and enabling infrastructure from being sold to China.
We can build the world’s most advanced AI here in America while ensuring it remains firmly in service of humanity.
