Current US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has revealed that his department is testing AI-based tools as a way to combat “disinformation”.
In conversation with the State Department's chief data officer and AI officer Matthew Graviss, he cited a number of initiatives, including the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the UN's Business AI Strategy Washington as the foundations of the ultimate goal, which is using AI to “advance our foreign policy.” “
The second part of the push to equip the State Department with AI tools is to “strengthen that institution.”
According to Blinken, his department is a leader within the government when it comes to testing and “harnessing” the technology. Some reports refer to this as combating anything deemed foreign disinformation.
