The Department of Homeland Security has formed the Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board to advise on AI in critical infrastructure.

The 22-member council includes notable tech CEOs like Sam Altman, Satya Nadella, and Sundar Pichai, as well as government officials and academics.

This initiative is a response to President Joe Biden's executive order on AI, focusing on defending against AI-powered threats to infrastructure.

Security threats addressed by the board include autonomous drones, bioweapons, and cybersecurity risks.

The board will guide sectors like telecommunications and utilities on using AI to enhance services while mitigating potential disruptions and risks.

Recommendations will be aimed at ensuring AI is integrated safely and securely into critical infrastructure to protect and improve essential services.
