CEOs of OpenAI, Google and Microsoft to join other tech leaders on federal AI safety panel

The US government has reached out to leading artificial intelligence companies for insights on how to utilize their technology in protecting critical infrastructure, particularly from AI-driven attacks. The Department of Homeland Security is forming a panel that will include CEOs from major companies, including technology giants and defense contractors. The government aims to collaborate closely with the private sector due to the absence of targeted national AI legislation. The panel of experts will provide recommendations and guidance to industries such as telecommunications, pipeline operators, and electric utilities in responsibly implementing AI and preparing for potential disruptions.
