Summary
The Department of Homeland Security's April 2024 guidelines provide a four-part framework (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage) to help critical infrastructure owners and operators manage AI-related risks. The document identifies three cross-sector risk categories—attacks using AI, attacks on AI systems, and AI design/implementation failures—and maps mitigation strategies to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. It represents a practical, sector-agnostic approach to operationalizing AI risk management in high-stakes infrastructure contexts.
Key Points
- •Establishes a four-part AI risk management framework: Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage, aligned with the NIST AI RMF.
- •Identifies three critical AI risk categories: adversarial use of AI, attacks targeting AI systems, and failures from AI design or implementation flaws.
- •Mandated by Executive Order 14110, targeting critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, water, transportation, and financial services.
- •Provides concrete mitigation strategies for each risk category, including general mitigations applicable across sectors.
- •Emphasizes organizational culture and governance as foundational to effective AI risk management, not just technical controls.
