Professor, we've also heard from Anthropic's former safety lead that in perhaps six to 18 months, there are going to be AI models that are capable of long-range strategic attacks.
I remember a story that we were told at this committee about a robotic dog that had, essentially, a kill switch—a button on a wall. It was able to reprogram itself, because it knew that this switch would turn it off. We also heard of scenarios in which agentic AI agents were deployed and then started mining cryptocurrency without being given that instruction.
Given all of this and the timelines that we're being presented with, what can government here in Canada do today to better prepare us for a sophisticated AI national security breach?
