Joint Guidelines for Secure AI Deployment

New cybersecurity guidance for artificial intelligence (AI) systems was issued jointly by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the FBI, the National Security Agency’s Artificial Intelligence Security Center, and cybersecurity agencies of Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., and Canada. The Guidelines, Deploying AI Systems Securely: Best Practices for Deploying Secure and Resilient AI Systems, are particularly notable because they focus on best practices for organizations that deploy AI developed by a third party rather than targeting developers of AI systems.

Overall, the Guidelines provide specific, actionable best practices. Organizations deploying AI systems would be well served by following the recommendations. Eight key recommendations are outlined in this article.
