US Cybersecurity Is No Match For China, Calling It 'kindergarten Level by bigdot1759(m): 6:52pm On Oct 12, 2021
Nicolas Chaillan served as the US Air Force's software chief and worked on Pentagon security.
A senior cybersecurity official at the Pentagon said he quit because he thought it was impossible for the US to compete with China on AI.

Nicolas Chaillan joined the US Air Force as its first chief software officer in August 2018. He worked to equip it and the Pentagon with the most secure and advanced software available.
A number of US departments have been subject to hacking attempts and ransomware attacks in recent years.

In April 2020, the US Treasury, Department of Homeland Security, State Department, and Department of Defense were compromised in the SolarWinds hack . Hackers were able to spy on the digital activities of staff and access some of their emails.

Chaillan also told the FT that US national security was being compromised by Google's refusal to work with the Pentagon on AI.

Google stopped working with the Pentagon in 2018 after 12 employees quit over a project where Google helped the Pentagon make software that could improve the accuracy of drone strikes.

In China, Chaillan said, private cyber and AI companies were at Beijing's beck and call.

China is aiming to becoming the leading AI superpower by 2030, and a March report from the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence said the US was "not prepared to defend the United States in the coming artificial intelligence (AI) era."

Chaillan said it didn't matter whether the US spent three times as much as China on defense because it was being allocated to the wrong areas,
