Rep. Rick Crawford was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with guest host Jackie DeAngelis to discuss AI and evolving national security threats to the US.
“AI is helping us do tremendous things even to the extent of seeing where these drones are going and being able to intercept and destroy them,” DeAngelis said.
“Technology is making things move at an exponentially faster rate, so we are having to adapt on the fly,” Crawford said.
“You are hearing more of these companies that are bringing technology to the front so that we can actually combat the threat of things like drone swarms that we’ve seen in Ukraine and that we are seeing the Iranians deploy against shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” Crawford said.
“This technology is going to continue to evolve and develop, and it definitely is changing the battlespace,” Crawford continued.
“AI has been driving this. There is a lot of confidence from investors that AI will make things better, not worse, but part of the Democrat narrative right now is fearmongering. AI is going to take your job. AI is coming and the world is going to implode,” DeAngelis commented.
Rep Crawford explained that China has been responsible for feeding fear into American citizens about AI. He explained that they use social media to exploit people’s fears about AI by creating a false narrative.
