The Donald Trump administration's artificial intelligence task force is discussing the threat of AI-powered cyber attacks on critical infrastructure. The proposals include the development of national digital security standards and new incentives for companies that are willing to report to the government about discovered vulnerabilities.
Special attention was paid to the legal risks to the business when disclosing such information. It is proposed to find a way to encourage the reporting of information about weaknesses in the system without the threat of legal consequences for the companies themselves. Infrastructure protection also depends on rules for data exchange between businesses and authorities.
The current interaction system is based on the US Cyber Security Act of 2015. It will expire next month. Therefore, new standards and safeguards are being discussed against the background of the impending end of the current legal framework for sharing information about digital events. Solutions are currently under consideration, not implemented.
