A new series of recommendations from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is designed to enable cloud providers, AI developers, public-sector entities and others to integrate AI while balancing risk and opportunity.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Thursday unveiled a strategic playbook for the safe integration of AI across the nation’s critical infrastructure.
The "Roles and Responsibilities Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Critical Infrastructure,"developed with DHS Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas and the new AI Safety and Security Board, aims to guide AI integrators — including cloud providers, developers and critical infrastructure operators — in collaborating on safe AI practices across essential sectors like energy, water and telecommunications.
Specifically, the written framework will address three aspects identified by DHS as core risk areas facing critical infrastructure in today’s society: AI-driven attacks, targeted attacks on AI systems and design flaws. The framework distinguishes the unique challenges each AI stakeholder may encounter and speaks to specific recommendations for each group.
