US 'unprepared' to defend against new AI threats, report finds

[Evolve Dammit]

9. After Katrina, I realized how ill-prepared we were. You're on your own mostly. The threats are real.

And there are new ones that didn't exist at the time of Katrina, like AI or cyber warfare refined to what it is today. How about the C-19 pandemic, propaganda networks? Rising fascism? hacking? spamming? identity theft? school shootings? crumbling infrastructure? de-funding schools? voter suppression? re-kindled racism? climate change? species extinction? food industry safeguard cuts, soaring costs, increased poverty, bankruptcy from health care costs. On and on. All scary stuff, and no real checks on much of it. The last four years have made it worse. I hope we can start to address some of it. Not expecting miracles, but these are all very real issues.
