But it\u2019s also a force with risks,\u201d she said. \u201cAs AI gains increased autonomy, we all have an intergenerational duty to harness and secure it for good; to protect our national security, our economy and our way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She warned about China\u2019s arrival as a tech superpower, which includes its sophisticated cyber capabilities.
