FBI Director Christopher Wray attended\u00a0the World Economic Forum, an annual gathering of business, government, and law enforcement leaders,\u00a0in Davos, Switzerland, this week. The trip was part of the FBI\u2019s continuing commitment to ensure government and private sector leaders receive information on such global threats as ransomware and other cyberattacks, economic espionage, and hostile nation-states. The discussions also included the challenges posed by the governments of China, Iran, and Russia.<\/p>\n
During a panel discussion on technology, Director Wray noted China does not play by the same set of rules as the U.S. and other democracies when it comes to the use of technological advances such as artificial intelligence: \u201cThe Chinese government has a bigger hacking program than any other nation in the world and their AI program is not constrained by the rule of law\u201d, said Director Wray. \u201cIt is built on top of the massive troves of intellectual property and sensitive data that they\u2019ve stolen over the years and will be used\u2014unless checked\u2014to advance that same hacking program, to advance that same intellectual property theft, to advance the repression that occurs not just back home in mainland China but increasingly is a product that they export around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
