will continue to gnaw away at the russian leadership. beneath the steady die of state propaganda and practiced repression. >> in the past year of the war the cia has been encouraging russian valuable information to contact them quietly, securely, and anonymously through a portal on the dark web. >> we are looking around the world for russians who are as disgusted with putin as we are, because we are open for business. >> instructions have been posted on the cia's social media accounts. this new video, after making an emotional pitch to russian viewers, details how to do that. using a web browser called t o r. you are not powerless, contact us in a safe way. the cia video was posted on telegram, a social media app that was highly popular among russians who can't easily access unfiltered news or other social media sites. >> i call it hanging out this shingle. spreading the word far and wide that u.s. counterintelligence is open for business and we have deep pockets. if you want to strike back
11:48 pm
against this man you hate, vladimir putin, you have an opportunity now to do it safely. >> cia officials told cnn they hope the video will resonate beyond intelligence and security officials. people who may not realize they have sensitive information to share, working for example, in cyber tech, finance, and other fields. they may think contacting the cia is too difficult. the cia telling cnn they want to demystify that. >> we need people all through the russian economy to cooperate with us. we need to know what's going on in this adversary country. >> there is no direct mention of putin or ukraine, nor cia officials insist, is it meant to fuel unrest in russia. rather, they tell cnn, these are timeless themes that they hope will drive russians into the arms of the cia. >> [speaking non-english] ♪ ♪ ♪ >> in terms of what the cia has
11:49 pm
already seen in its efforts to recruit russian spies during this war, they say they have been successful, one cia official told me in his words there is contact coming in. now the cia won't give any numbers or say where these russians work but the cia says they would not be rolling out this new video if they hadn't already had some success. we should also note that the fbi has tried recruiting russian spies right here in washington with ads specifically targeted at people coming and going from the russian embassy. an effort that the embassy called ridiculous. >> in the coming hours, a senate judiciary subcommittee in the u.s. will hold a hearing about the potential risks of artificial intelligence. lawmakers will ask questions to expert and a tech industry and discuss what guardrails may be necessary to consider as a okros more prominent. among those testifying is the

ceo of openai, the company behind the chatgpt a i checked bought. the software has sparked a new arms race in the field of artificial intelligence which has the potential to change how people work and interact with each other. >> joining me now from los angeles, lori schwartz is a technology expert and the ceo and founder of story tech. thank you so much for being with us! >> oh, great to be here! >> so artificial and how does technology is advancing so fast that some countries cannot keep up when it comes to oversight of a.i., and unfortunately the united states is one of those countries. how is it possible that the superpowers already behind iunie countries. how is it possible that the superpowers already behind in establishing the government regulations for i gave in the dangers it poses?
11:51 pm
>> i think it's a very complex situation because it is moving so fast and it literally is hard to know what to do. but i also think that the u.s. government right now. someone that can speak this a language because what you are having right now is a bunch of government officials and running around talking to experts, but not really being authentically inside of this world. it is a complex world. there's a lot of different things going on and it is moving really fast. >> it's a very good point because a lot of people in congress don't have a clue about any of this. so, what are the main risks that you see being posed by a.i. right now, and what's put n place before some major damages is done? >> well, okay, so the biggest challenge with a.i. right places is done? >> well, okay, so the biggest challenge with a.i. right now is first we have a world that has been changed or trains to
11:52 pm
be afraiwe don't know whits goig to happen with it. so there are some bad actors out there who are going to use a.i. to create problems, to send out what we call deep fakes, where they are portraying a video of someone and it's not really them. or using a.i. to create content that not authentic. thereby causing millions of people to think things that are not true. so there's a lot of challenges with managing this fast content generation and that's a i can do, that feels real and feels authentic, but isn't. the other side of this is that ar is actually a fantastic tool that can help a lot of people,
11:53 pm
and any business category that you name, the ice bringing a lot of services and solutions that are very positive. so, the towns with this is how do we manage this in a way, with regulations, that tapers the bad actors but still leaves it open for innovation? and that is a union yang in this white house how do we do both at the same time? >> yeah, so what is the answer to that because i think you highlight the biggest problem, the fear that most people have, the manipulative or deceptive a icip semmes that could potentially bring down an individual, a business, a large company, even perhaps a government. how do you control of that? >> well i think it's going to take many different parties from many different groups. i think we are going to have or need to have some government regulation. i also think that tech companies are going to need to step it harder. really manage this. really provide some guardrails for consumers and other folks
11:54 pm
that are using their solutions. i also think that the general population is going to need to step in and make some demands as well. so when you see a piece of content, we need to know -- is that authentic or not? it is a real piece of content? and i think tech companies can help that by providing some verification processes so that we know, okay, that was a piece of real content. so i think you need a trifecta here. i think any government, any tech companies, and i think you see consumers all working together to figure this out. >> i think it's a very good point. you raised the texts that president obama had in place because as we were talking about earlier, many members of congress are too old to really grasp what is going on here with artificial intelligence. and not having a -- etheredge, young people do have a grasp better of all of this. so who is equipped to put oversight in place if you got a
11:55 pm
lot of people in congress not really able to wrap their math minds around it? >> i think that congress needs to reach into the tech community way now that and find somebody that they can work right who can speak their language but also someone that's inside the tent community so not a career politician, but a career technologists. let them live outside of the washington system because i think the problem in the past with a lot of tech sars is that they get swallowed up in the government system. that stop them from doing what they need to do. so somehow there needs to be a partnership with a technologist, someone in a senior leadership who can communicate what they need to communicate but they are outside of the government system, because they were just gets washed. >> yeah, that's a very valid point. lori schwartz, thank you so much for joining us. really appreciated. >> it's my pleasure. >> and thank you for your
