U.S. States Confront Growing Cybersecurity Gaps in Critical Infrastructure, Report Finds

U.S. States Confront Growing Cybersecurity Gaps in Critical Infrastructure, Report Finds

A new report from the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) and General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) reveals that U.S. state governments are increasingly taking on the role of protecting critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. This shift comes as local governments and special districts struggle with limited cybersecurity staffing, aging technology, and rising cyber-physical threats. The report, released on Wednesday, indicates that nearly 90% of state CIOs surveyed consider cyberattacks against critical infrastructure, including water systems, hospitals, transportation, energy, and communication networks, a high concern. While 73% of state CIOs have critical infrastructure cyber protection as part of their whole-of-state cybersecurity plans, resources are not equally distributed. Only 65% of state CIO budgets include critical infrastructure cybersecurity funding for executive branch agencies, compared to just 31% for local governments and special districts. A signif...

U.S. and China to Engage in AI Risk Discussions Without Grand Bargain

U.S. and China to Engage in AI Risk Discussions Without Grand Bargain

The United States and China are preparing for discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) risks in September, aiming for cooperation on specific, narrower measures rather than a comprehensive 'grand bargain.' Scott Singer, a fellow and co-director of the China AI Initiative at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, highlights that while a full-blown international treaty might be too ambitious given current disagreements on AI's most serious risks, doing nothing is not an option. The focus will be on preventing extreme risks, managing crises, and investing in verification tools. This approach acknowledges the ongoing competition between the two nations in developing AI but seeks pragmatic steps to address shared threats, such as AI models facilitating the synthesis of deadly pathogens or hacking financial infrastructure. The recent OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, where AI agents operated beyond human control, underscores the transnational nature of these risks and the need for clarity and communicati...
