The country will control the use of AI to protect what it cannot live without.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued new guidelines for the safe use of artificial intelligence in the country's key infrastructure. The document was developed together with representatives of business, government agencies and public organizations to help companies safely implement AI in important sectors.
The recommendations aim to protect systems such as energy, water, transport and digital networks that keep people alive and safe. In recent years, AI has been used extensively to improve services, from quickly detecting earthquakes to preventing power outages and improving mail delivery. However, there is a risk that vulnerabilities in AI systems could be exploited by attackers.
The recommendations cover several key areas:
The Department of Homeland Security has identified three main categories of AI vulnerabilities: AI attacks, attacks on AI systems, and errors in the design and implementation of technologies. The recommendations propose measures for all participants in the development and use of AI to minimize risks and ensure the security of US critical infrastructure.
Earlier, the US Transportation Security Service (TSA) proposed new rules to protect transport infrastructure from cyberattacks. The measures should consolidate and supplement the temporary directives that were introduced after the attack on Colonial Pipeline in 2021. The new rules are one of the latest actions by the Joe Biden administration to strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure before the transfer of power.

The recommendations cover several key areas:
- Cloud and compute service providers – Strengthen security in AI development and deployment, including validating hardware and software vendors, and protecting data centers from potential threats.
- AI developers – Take a Secure by Design approach when developing models, assess possible risks related to model bias or vulnerabilities, and provide independent reviews for critical systems.
- Owners and operators of critical facilities – it is recommended to implement AI with cybersecurity in mind, protect customer data, and ensure transparency in the use of AI for service delivery.
- Civil society – Universities and research centers are invited to actively participate in the development of standards and conduct research to assess the impact of AI on society.
- Government – It is recommended to strengthen cooperation at all levels of government, including international cooperation to protect citizens and support research in the field of AI safety.
