This sends a 'strong signal' to Iran, lawmaker argues

>> MOMENTS AGO RUSSIA, PUTIN. ANAND UKRAINE'S ZELENSKYY HAVE. AGREED TO PAUSE STRIKES ON KIEV. AND MOSCOW DURING TALKS WITH. U.S. ENVOYS STEVE WITKOFF AND. JARED KUSHNER, AS THEY ARRIVED. IN MOSCOW TODAY IN A PUSH FOR. PEACE THERE. THIS COMES AFTER ATTACKS ON. BOTH SIDES HAVE ESCALATED WITH. RUSSIAN N ATTACKS KILLING FIVE. PEOPLE OVERNIGHT AT A UKRAINIAN. INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.

ALSO, BREAKING THIS MORNING, CENTCOM IS CONFIRMING U.S. FORCES DESTROY THREE IRANIAN. OIL TANKERS IN RETALIATION. AFTER IRAN LAUNCHED MISSILES. TOWARDS TWO U.S. NAVY WARSHIPS. THAT WERE PATROLLING THE WATERS. THERE. FOR MORE LET'S BRING IN RICK. CRAWFORD, CHAIRMAN, GREAT TO. HAVE YOU. I WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION TO. THIS BREAKING NEWS. HOW MUCH DOES THIS CHANGE. IRAN'S STANCE, IRAN'S ROLE IN. THESE NEGOTIATIONS? DOES THIS HELP US? >> I THINK IT DOES.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS. ESSENTIALLY THE KINETIC. COMPONENT TO ECONOMIC OUTCAST. SO THESE ECONOMIC SANCTIONS I. AM --. IMPLEMENTED. AND IT SHOULD BRING THEM THAT. THEIR CONDITION IS UNTENABLE, THEY'LL HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR. WAYS AND IT SHOULD BE A PRETTY. STRONG SIGNAL.

AISHAH: PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS. ALSO MENTIONED PICKAXE. MOUNTAIN, I BELIEVE HE. MENTIONED IT AGAIN YESTERDAY. HE'S CONSIDERING PICKAXE. MOUNTAIN. LET'S PLAY THE SOUND BITE. >> WE MATE HIT PICK AX, IF. THERE'S GOING ON WITH ANYTHING. WITH PICKAXE IF ANYTHING GOES. BACK, WE HIT THEM, WE HIT THEM. HARD. AISHAH: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF. THAT IDEA? SHOULD WE DO THAT? >> ALL OPTIONS ON THE TABLE.

LOOK, HE IS A MADE IT CLEAR TO. THE IRANIANS, IRGC, THESE ARE. THE CONDITIONS AND I THINK WHAT. YOU'RE SEEING IS SORT OF THE. LAST GREAT ACT OF DEFIANCE FROM. A REGIME THAT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH. MORE TO HOLD ONTO AND HE'S. MAKING SURE THAT THEY KNOW THAT. ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE. AISHAH: ALSO WANT TO ASK YOU. ABOUT THE HACKING THREATS FROM. IRAN AS THEY CONTINUE TO GROW. THIS IS WHWHAT THE IRANIAN DID. EVER--. AN IRANIAN HACKING GROUP SAID.

SOON THE UNITED STATES WILL SEE. CRITICAL EVENTS IN THE ENERGY, WATER, TELECOMMUNICATIONS. INDUSTRIES. WHAT SHOULD AMERICANS BE. THINKING RIGHT NOW? I MEAN, SHOULD WE BE WORRIED. ABOUT THIS? BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY. ATTACKED OUR WATER. INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU KNOW, JUST. A FEW WEEKS AGO. >> WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE. DON'T REPEAT WHAT WE LEARNED. FROM 9/11, A FAILURE OF. IMAGINATION. ARE WEWE DOING EVERYTHING WE CA. TO PROTECT OURSELVES. YES, WE SHOULD, AND I WOULD SAY. THAT WE'RE VERY, VERY GOOD AT.

CYBER DEFENSE, BUT I WOULD LIKE. TO SEE US DO MORE ON CYBER. OFFENSE. SO IF WE KNOW WHERE A THREAT IS. EMANATING FROM, IT'S EASY FOR. US TO GET AFTER THAT THREAT. SO, I THINK THAT WE HAVE--. WE'RE VERY WELL RESOURCED WITH. REGARD TO THE EXPERTISE WE NEED. TO PROTECT CRITICAL. INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH CYBER. ATTACKS, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO. THINK ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT. IMPLEMENT MORE OFFENSIVE. POSTURE. AISHAH: WE'RE ALSO WATCHING. POTENTIALLY TERROR GROUPS.

GETTING A HOLD OF A.I. AND. USING THAT TO GET A LOT MORE. CREATIVE WHEN IT COMES TO. POTENTIALLY ATTACKING THE U.S. OR OUR U.S. FORCES. OUR COMMUTE JUST CAME OUT WITH. A NEW REPORT WARNING OF BLACK. SWAN A.I. RISKS AND WE'RE. COMING UP ON THE ANNIVERSARY, OF COURSE, OF 9/11 AND THIS. REPORT SAID THIS, FRONTIER. LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS HAVE THE. POSSIBILITY OF MAKING IT. SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER FOR ANY. ROGUE ACTOR, INCLUDING. TERRORISTS, TO DEVELOP AND. CONDUCT MORE DESTRUCTIVE. ATTACKS.

I MEAN, WE'RE NOT EVEN. REGULATING A.I. HERE AT HOME. COCONGRESS HASN'T REALLY DONE. ANYTHING ABOUT THAT YET, SIR. SO WHAT DO WE DO WHEN IT COMES. TO TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. GETTING A HOLD OF THIS STUFF? >> SO, THIS IS OUT THERE IN THE. OPEN SOURCE SO WE HAVE TO BE. CONSCIOUS OF THAT, NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO, THIS IS WHY THE. UNITED STATES NEEDS TO LEAD ON. A.I. BECAUSE IF WE DON'T HAVE, IT'S GOING TO GO IN A DIRECTION. WE DON'T WANT IT TO GO. WE HAVE TO BE THE PREEMINENT. FORCE FOR ARTIFICIAL. INTELLIGENCE. IT HAS TO BE THAT WAY AND I. KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PUSH BACK.

ON THIS AND I KNOW THERE'S, YOU. KNOW, I'VE OBSERVED. GENERATIONALLY THAT THIS. TECHNOLOGY IS NOT BEING. WELCOMED WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, USUALLY KIND OF THE NEXT GEN. ALWAYS WELCOMES THE NEXT BIG. THING, TECHNOLOGY AND THINGS OF. THAT NATURE AND IT'S A LITTLE. DIFFERENT RIGHT NOW. SO WE'RE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB. COMMUNICATING THE VALUE OF A.I. AND OUR POSITION AS LEADERS IN. THE A.I. SPACE ANDND HOW THAT. PREVENTS NATIONS LIKE CHINA. FROM TAKING A LEADERSHIP. POSITION AND RELEGATING US TO.

BASICALLY WHATEVER POSITION. THEY WANT TO PUT US IN. BECAUSE A.I. IS THAT MUCH OF AN. ENABLING TECHNOLOGY SO WE HAVE. TO BE MUCH MORE DILIGENT AND. FORWARD LEANING HOW WE DEVELOP. IT SO IT CAN BE DONE I THINK. FROM A MORAL PERSPECTIVE. AISHAH: DOESN'T THAT ALSO MEAN. THAT WE SHOULD REGULATE A.I. HERE AT HOME AND OUR A.I. COMPANIES TO MAKE SURE THAT. THEY ARE MAKING THESE MODELS. SAFER? >> THAT'S PART AND PARCEL OF. WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. BUT THE RECOGNITION THAT, YES, WE NEED TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD. WITH REGARD TO THE REGULATORY.

FRAMEWORK, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO. UNDERSTAND THAT TERRORIST. ORGANIZATIONS AND EVEN NATION. STATES LIKE CHINA ARE NOT. NECESSARILY GOING TO SUBSCRIBE. TO OUR REGISTRY MODEL, BUT WE. NEED TO BE CUTTING EDGE ON A.I. AND WE NEED TO MAKE IT WORK FOR. US AND NOT ALLOW.
