"DHS Establishes AI Safety and Security Board to Protect Critical Infrastructure"
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has established the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety and Security Board. The Board will help DHS stay ahead of growing threats posed by hostile nation-state actors. It will also help strengthen national security by helping deter and prevent such threats. The DHS Homeland Threat Assessment for 2024 warns that AI-assisted tools threaten economic security and critical infrastructure as they could enable larger-scale, faster, more efficient, and more evasive cyberattacks. Nation-states, including the People's Republic of China (PRC), are developing AI technologies that could weaken US cyber defenses, such as generative AI programs supporting malicious activity like malware attacks. This article continues to discuss the AI Safety and Security Board.
