FBI director sees threat from China's AI program, talks Russia cyberattacks in Ukraine

Speaking Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, FBI Director Christopher Wray described how his agency saw an increase in cyberattacks from Russia at the beginning of its invasion of Ukraine last year and he hammered the Chinese for their artificial intelligence program.

At the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in February 2022, the FBI observed a growing number of Russian attempts to carry out cyberattacks, Wray said.

"We did see, as the conflict erupted and increased, effort by the Russian intelligence services -- which have been conducting malicious cyberactivity against U.S. infrastructure for years," he said.
