MI5 is dealing with the potential threats of AI misuse by “those who already mean the UK harm,” Director General Sir Ken McCallum says, listing new reconnaissance methods, the creation of bespoke radicalising material and even generating new pathogens to develop bioweapons as potential risks.

00:00The issues connected to AI that MI5 with our various partners is dealing with are about the potential for AI
00:07to be misused by those who already mean the UK harm.
00:10So that would include terrorists trying to use AI to improve their reconnaissance methods, for example.
00:17It would include serious criminals, not MI5's own issue but for our colleagues in the National Crime Agency.
00:22It would include attempts to use AI to create bespoke radicalising material sort of tailored to the individual.
00:30So there's a series of issues where those who are already trying to present threats to the UK might seek
00:35to use AI to make those threats a bit sharper.
00:38And our job, therefore, is to stay ahead of those adversaries and make sure that we are using AI to
00:43enhance our security rather than allow it to be undermined.
00:46In the particular case of bioweapons, I was very clear in my speech today that this is a potential risk
00:51rather than something that we are already seeing manifesting.
00:54So it needs sober work now to prepare for the possibility that either AI could enable dangerous knowledge, for example,
01:03around bioweapons to reach people who mean us harm in a way that they found hard to access until now.
01:09And or there is also potential for AI to be used to generate new pathogens in the first place.
