The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issued a new report urging U.S. spy agencies to better prepare for "Black Swan" artificial intelligence risks, cautioning that the technology could be leveraged by terrorists or adversaries to develop more dangerous weapons and plot deadlier attacks. Lawmakers believe existing safeguards may not be enough to keep up with AI's rapid advances, and that frontier large language models could significantly ease the development of destructive attacks by rogue actors. The committee broadly found that the U.S. faces a threat environment as complex and dangerous as any since September 11, 2001, with serious gaps remaining in its ability to confront these vulnerabilities.
