“DURING HIS EIGHT years in office, President Barack Obama has seen hackers grow into a threat no president has faced before. US intelligence and law enforcement agencies have responded to everything from a Chinese hack of Google in 2009 to Russian digital meddling in this election.

And that includes preparing for possibilities that others might consider science fiction—like the possibility of an artificial intelligence trained through machine learning and tasked with stealing US nuclear codes.”
