Spies, Lies, and Robots



The Rise of AI Chatbots and the Counterintelligence Dilemma with H. Keith Melton

Sep 25, 2024. 6:30 PM to 7:50 PM

AI chatbots have emerged as a significant challenge to national security, evolving from simple customer service tools to sophisticated entities capable of mimicking human behavior. This transformation poses a dilemma for counterintelligence efforts, as these chatbots infiltrate various communication channels, including social networks, dating sites, and even pornography platforms, to extract sensitive information or manipulate users.


Tonight, intelligence historian and Spy Museum Board Member H. Keith Melton will explore the evolution of AI chatbots and the threats they pose across different communication channels, using advanced graphics to illustrate their capabilities. As these capabilities continue to advance, the risk of widespread disruption and compromise increases along established and emerging attack vectors. Melton will suggest ways that counterintelligence agencies can address this growing threat effectively—in particular, proactive measures such as enhancing vetting procedures and deploying advanced detection algorithms. He cautions that only through collective vigilance and concerted efforts can we effectively counter the evolving menace of AI-powered threats and hostile foreign intelligence activities. He’ll also cover the pressing need to adapt national security policies to the dynamic landscape of technological espionage.


Selected books by H. Keith Melton will be available for sale and signing after the event. The in-person event will have open seating available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
