Cantwell And Rounds Call For Coordinated National Response
US Senators Maria Cantwell and Mike Rounds are urging the White House to take a comprehensive approach to AI safety and cybersecurity threats. In a letter to the Director of National Intelligence and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director, the Senators outlined three key priorities for a successful AI safety and defense regime. The letter comes as AI systems are becoming increasingly capable of discovering software vulnerabilities and operating autonomously, posing significant national security risks. The Senators’ call to action was reported by the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation.
