The Trump administration’s AI task force is encouraging regulatory agencies not to take enforcement actions against companies that experience cyberattacks resulting from AI overwhelming their defenses.
The regulatory flexibility should last for at least the next 12 months, the task force said, “with the possibility of extension based on an ongoing evaluation of the risk landscape.”
The AI task force focused on the cybersecurity implications of advancing AI capabilities during its Thursday meeting, according to a readout from the White House.
The task force has also promised to work with critical infrastructure operators to harden their defenses against AI-fueled cyber threats, and Thursday’s meeting featured a discussion of how that work is going.
At the same time, the task force is also developing initiatives to secure federal networks.
