Mitigating Artificial Intelligence Risk: Safety and Security Guidelines for Critical Infrastructure Owners and Operators

While artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to deliver transformative solutions for U.S. critical infrastructure, the introduction of AI systems into critical infrastructure has the potential to make those systems more vulnerable to critical failures, physical attacks, and cyberattacks. At the same time, AI-powered technologies also present new ways for adversaries to expand and enhance attacks on U.S. systems. For owners and operators of critical infrastructure, whose essential services and functions Americans depend on daily, mitigating AI risks is not merely an operational need but a national security and public safety imperative.
