The push to designate AI as the next critical infrastructure sector
A new report from Americans for Responsible Innovation urges the federal government to treat key AI models, companies, and supporting industries as critical infrastructure and to name CISA as the lead agency for AI-related cyberthreats. The report argues that the AI stack is deeply interconnected with other critical sectors, making it vulnerable to disruptions that could cascade across the economy and national security. #AmericansforResponsibleInnovation #CISA #OpenAI #Anthropic #ANCHORCI

Keypoints

  • The report calls for AI models and supporting industries to be designated as critical infrastructure.
