West is between peace and war, as AI races ahead: UK cyberspying chief

Artificial intelligence is “an unstoppable force” that is being weaponised in ways that fall just short of traditional warfare, Britain’s cyberspying chief warned Wednesday.

Anne Keast-Butler, director of the communications intelligence agency GCHQ, said Britain and its allies are in “a space between peace and war” and risk losing a conflict in cyberspace against Russia and other adversaries unless they treat cybersecurity with much greater urgency.
