The National Counterintelligence and Security Center on Friday said it is prioritizing industry outreach efforts in U.S. technology sectors where the stakes are “potentially greatest” for U.S. economic and national security, warning of “nation-state threats” posed by China and Russia.
The NCSC said that technologies, such as computing, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing, can be "beneficial" but also can be "economically, militarily and socially destabilizing," noting that those sectors, specifically, "warrant extra attention" to anticipate the "trajectories of emerging technologies and understand their implications for security."
In its outreach, the NCSC first warned that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) "has a goal of achieving leadership in various emerging technology fields by 2030."
