By applying concepts from cybersecurity \u2014 such as threat modeling, supply chain security and incident response \u2014 the document aims to encourage the developers and users of AI to prioritize security concerns. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are at an inflection point in the development of artificial intelligence, which may well be the most consequential technology of our time. Cybersecurity is key to building AI systems that are safe, secure, and trustworthy,\u201d Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As AI systems are rapidly deployed across society, developers and policymakers are rushing to address safety and security concerns posed by the technology.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/white-house-ai-executive-order-cybersecurity\/\">signed<\/a> an executive order directing the federal government to step up efforts to develop standards for addressing security concerns, particularly around red team models and watermarking AI-generated content. Earlier this month, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-ai-critical-infrastructure\/\">released<\/a> a roadmap for addressing the threat posed by AI to critical infrastructure. At a conference in London, a coalition of 28 states <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/ai-safety-summit-2023-the-bletchley-declaration\/the-bletchley-declaration-by-countries-attending-the-ai-safety-summit-1-2-november-2023\">committed<\/a> to subjecting leading AI models to intensive testing before release. <\/p>\n<p>But experts caution that addressing the risks of AI continues to lag behind efforts to develop and deploy the cutting edge of the technology. Though thin on technical detail, Sunday\u2019s standards aim to provide a set of principles that both AI users and developers can use to harden their systems. <\/p>\n<p>CISA Director Jen Easterly called the guidelines \u201ca key milestone in our collective commitment \u2014 by governments across the world \u2014 to ensure the development and deployment of artificial intelligence capabilities that are secure by design.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>CISA released the document together with the United Kingdom\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre. The guidelines were authored by 21 security agencies and ministries spanning the G7 nations. A who\u2019s who of AI firms \u2014 ranging from OpenAI to Anthropic to Microsoft \u2014 provided input, together with research organizations like RAND and Georgetown\u2019s Center for Security and Emerging Technology. <\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"single-article__tags-container\">\n<h4 class=\"single-article__tags-title\">In This
