DHS releases guidance for AI in critical infrastructure
Briefly

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated, "The framework, if widely adopted, will go a long way to better ensure the safety and security of critical services that deliver clean water, consistent power, internet access and so much more." He emphasized how this framework could significantly improve the governance of AI in essential services.
Mayorkas described the framework as "groundbreaking" and the first document created after extensive collaboration with AI developers helping civil society responsibly deploy software, marking a significant step in AI governance.
According to Mayorkas, "It is descriptive and not prescriptive... to be particularly prescriptive would not necessarily capture that evolution." This highlights the flexible nature of recommendations tailored for the rapidly moving AI technology.
He pointed out, "It is, quite frankly, exceedingly rare to have leading AI developers engaged directly with civil society on issues that are at the forefront of today's AI debates, and [it] presents such a collaborative framework." This collaboration is seen as vital to the framework’s success.
