EXCERPT:
An artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot “almost” sparked World War III by generating false intelligence about nuclear weapons components aboard a Chinese ship bound for Iran, triggering preparations for an imminent U.S. special forces operation that an official warned “almost started a war” with China.
The potentially catastrophic incident unfolded last spring during President Donald Trump’s campaign to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and atomic weapons components.
A human analyst within the U.S. intelligence community used data produced by an AI chatbot to prepare a report that was widely circulated through classified Pentagon channels.
The chatbot had hallucinated that a Chinese vessel was transporting nuclear weapons components to Iran.
Washington reportedly went on high alert.
Military planning accelerated, and elite U.S. assets were already airborne and preparing to board the Chinese ship.
However, the intelligence was completely fabricated by the AI system, and there were no Chinese ships transporting nuclear weapons to Iran.
