DHS Unveils AI Framework for Securing Critical Infrastructure

The new guidelines aim to harmonize safety and security practices across sectors involved in AI deployment.

The Department of Homeland Security released a framework for the safe use of AI in critical infrastructure, developed with input from leading AI developers and civil society.
The framework outlines roles and responsibilities for various stakeholders, including AI developers, infrastructure operators, and public sector entities.
The guidelines focus on securing environments, designing responsible models, implementing data governance, and ensuring safe deployment.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas emphasized the framework as a collaborative effort and hopes it will be adopted to prevent excessive regulation.
With the upcoming Trump administration, Mayorkas expressed optimism that the AI Safety and Security Board will continue its work.
