WHITE HOUSE PULLS AHEAD IN AI RACE!
The White House has taken the lead in tackling concerns and cautions about artificial intelligence. In a surprising move, the federal government has come out quickly to provide guidance for agencies dealing with AI. It seems the government is more proactive than many commercial companies in trying to make sense of AI. With the guidance, agencies are being asked to designate chief AI officers to advise leadership on AI, assess risk, and capitalize on its benefits.
AI: RISK OR OPPORTUNITY?
The White House’s approach advocates for a risk-based strategy, rather than prescriptive controls, recognizing the cybersecurity threat that AI poses. Adversaries using AI against your deployed AI is a real concern. It’s like a race to the top in capability, with threat actors seeking to penetrate defenses using AI, while defenders must expand their efforts to counter the new threats posed by AI.
WHAT NOW?
As we continue to navigate the terrain of AI, it’s clear that we must think of AI on two fronts – deployment for the best outcomes and treating it as a cybersecurity threat. What should agencies do differently now as they think about AI and its implications for the future? How can we maximize the benefits of AI while mitigating the associated risks?
Readers, what do you think of the government’s proactive approach to AI guidance? How should agencies best manage the risks associated with AI? Comment your thoughts below!
