The White House formed an AI task force to address cybersecurity risks. It has not included CISA in public discussions. CISA leads federal work on critical infrastructure security and incident reporting. Experts warn the task force risks weak or redundant guidance without CISA. The task force has three workstreams on early warnings, consumer protection and critical infrastructure. It now expects AI labs to report loss-of-control incidents. Trump’s administration has previously cut CISA staff and activities. The White House declined to confirm CISA’s role. CISA has existing AI security expertise and relationships with critical infrastructure operators. CISA also co-published guidance on preventing AI loss-of-control incidents.
What changed
CISA was previously the lead federal agency for critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
