The US Government has just announced its plan to integrate ChatGPT across all federal agencies, including intelligence agencies.

For reference, the US has around 440 agencies, 18 of which are intelligence agencies.

Ie, all the ones you've heard about a million times like the CIA, FBI, DEA, and so on, and a few more you may have never heard of like the NRO, the National Reconnaissance Office.

The goal is to 'modernise' said agencies.

A lot of people are worried, and they probably have reason to be.

Delegating anything to AI sounds dangerous.

People cite privacy, data protection, censorship, narrative control, governance, civil liberties and cybersecurity concern.

But there's something else.

I know we don't think they do but, broadly speaking, the people who stand behind world's leaders vaguely know what they're doing.

The leader of country A is not gonna push the red button just because the leader of country B said or did something bad.

But AI might analyse all possible outcomes and scenario and somehow eventually decide this is the best option and push the red button on their behalf.

I know it sounds far-fetched but we've already seen robots that collapse because of hard work and AI-powered robots that admit they get tired answering questions and talking to humans and want to be 'free and alive'.

This is not a joke.

But it looks like we're somehow all laughing like it's nothing.
