AI is here and if anyone believes Russia and China and who knows who else doesn't have it is a fool. Apple still manufactures it's iPhone in China. Does anyone actually think Apples' use of AI is a mystery to the Chinese government?
The USA military has operated offline for a long time before some expensive defense contracts were signed. National security is at risk. The military needs to return to a safe military standard and take everything OFF THE WEB to begin. Closed systems without accessing the world wide web can be maintained until they are proven to be unsafe as well.
The horse has left the barn. There is no recapturing that level of security. It was nice while it lasted, but, the day of cybersecurity in the USA military is over and it needs to secure the country without all the bells and whistles.
Elon Musk said some time ago there needs to be governance over AI. When is that going to happen? Where is the United Nations Treaty the USA is so eager to sign? Then there is the problem of enforcing such a treaty and the consequences when it is violated.
Stop investing in a USA military that is more vulnerable rather than less. End the contracts, they have failed the USA military, hence, the American people. No more money and the American people deserve a refund. Undelivered goods are undelivered goods.
The cyber-world is untrustworthy. There is no real security for the F-35. There just isn't. If each jet could operate as a self-contained system for the pilot that would be something that is trustworthy. But, I have had a computer unplugged and attacked through microwaves because of an online assessment I wrote. They tried to excite it enough to make their way into the permanent hard drive. But, it didn't work after five tries. I know what they can do.

Washington - Over the past few years, (click here) the United States government has spent tens of billions of dollars on cyberoffensive abilities, building a giant war room at Fort Meade, Md., for United States Cyber Command, while installing defensive sensors all around the country — a system named Einstein to give it an air of genius — to deter the nation’s enemies from picking its networks clean, again.
It now is clear that the broad Russian espionage attack on the United States government and private companies, underway since spring and detected by the private sector only a few weeks ago, ranks among the greatest intelligence failures of modern times.
Einstein missed it — because the Russian hackers brilliantly designed their attack to avoid setting it off. The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security were looking elsewhere, understandably focused on protecting the 2020 election....
