Under the second line of effort, CISA plans to assess the state of AI adoption across the government and its other stakeholders and assure the safety of AI systems through efforts like its Secure by Design initiative.
As part of the third line of effort’s aim to protect critical infrastructure, CISA will stand up an initiative within the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative and its extension, JCDC.AI, to begin collaborative ventures against threats, vulnerabilities and mitigations that AI systems are exposed to.
The fourth line’s objectives aim to establish AI policy positions within CISA and DHS, while ensuring such strategies line up with the rest of the gover ..
