Artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities are growing at an unprecedented rate. These technologies have many widely beneficial applications, ranging from machine translation to medical image analysis. Countless more such applications are being developed and can be expected over the long term. Less attention has historically been paid to the ways in which artificial intelligence can be used maliciously. This report surveys the landscape of potential security threats from malicious uses of artificial intelligence technologies, and proposes ways to better forecast, prevent, and mitigate these threats.

Competition among countries will increase in the coming year as major powers and regional aggressors exploit complex global trends while adjusting to new priorities in US foreign policy. The risk of interstate conflict, including among great powers, is higher than at any time since the end of the Cold War.

This paper provides the conceptual basis of the Cyber Green Initiative (CGI), and includes a description of its rationale, key definitions, existing efforts, and its proposed mission. CGI’s core focus is on tapping the collaborative potential of stakeholders in cyberspace through promoting the concept of “cyber health” and establishing a reliable platform for generating cross-­‐comparable statistics. CGI will focus on the following core tasks: establishing reliable cross-­‐comparable statistics and information sharing mechanisms, enabling operational remediation efforts, and providing insight into systemic risk conditions in the cyber ecosystem.
