Artificial Intelligence. Semiconductor chips. Quantum computing. Autonomous systems. Biotechnology.
These five emerging technologies “may determine whether America remains the world’s leading superpower or is eclipsed by strategic competitors in the next few years” and must be protected from malicious hackers, foreign governments and other threats, according to the National Counterintelligence Security Center.
The center, part of the Office of National Director of Intelligence, released a document Friday that outlined the important role these technologies – and the domestic industries that produce them – will play in maintaining U.S. economic and national security over the next decade and beyond. Accordingly, the NCSC announced that it will prioritize outreach efforts around all five industries to explore further cooperation and gain insight into how these emerging technologies could be wielded by other countries or actors.
