The US may only have 9 to 12 months to protect its critical infrastructure from AI-powered attacks. Currently, two American companies, Anthropic and OpenAI, have publicly demonstrated AI models advanced enough to detect flaws in software far beyond the human capacity to find, and they are restricting the use of these models to defensive cybersecurity work. But the US’ adversaries, and the criminals in their orbit, will soon wield the same offensive tools. China, in particular, is already racing to build and acquire these AI capabilities and may be closer to developing its own Mythos than many US policymakers hope. Advanced AI will sharpen an instrument that Beijing already prizes: the credible threat to deter a fight over Taiwan before it begins by disrupting the island’s critical infrastructure and that of any nation that seeks to defend it. The US has a window to bolster its critical infrastructure’s defenses, but that window is short, and those defenses are weak to begin with. In a campaign called Volt Typhoon, Chinese state-linked hackers already demonstrated how deeply they can burrow into US critical infrastructure, including organizations in the water, power, and transportation sectors.
Director of the White House OSTP Michael Kratsios announced what everyone already knew: China’s Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable, which they’re now selling for a fraction of the price in an attempt to corner the global intelligence market. It was a shocking, unthinkable act of economic warfare from the chinese communist Party, what they’ve done to literally every vital American industry for 20 years. Should we retaliate, or should our startups simply yank up their bootstraps and compete in the “free market” against the 2nd wealthiest nation state in human history?

Yup, sooo glad Elon Musk is on America's team! I think he already realizies that time is short to build a AI defense system.
