The U.S. Government Accountability Office invited Shadowless Labs to provide expert insight for its Technology Assessment on the use of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity.
Shadowless Labs participated in this congressional research effort, offering perspective on how AI both enables advanced cyberattacks and supports next-generation defensive systems. In discussions with GAO analysts, we highlighted:
- AI-assisted offensive tactics used by threat actors
- AI tools for automated defense and resilience
- The emerging security risks posed by AI in cyber-physical systems
- Mobile IoT security — including drones and autonomous robotics
- The importance of secure firmware, supply chain integrity, and embedded hardware safeguards
While traditional cybersecurity frameworks focus on networks and data storage, the integration of autonomous systems and AI into everyday infrastructure requires a broader approach. Shadowless Labs emphasized that as AI moves into physical environments, security strategy must evolve to address risks across hardware, software, and the machine-world boundary.
This engagement reflects our commitment to shaping responsible technology policy and advancing resilient, future-ready security practices.
