This Framework proposes specific actions that entities across the Al ecosystem can consider, adapt, and implement based on their role and relationship to the critical services that ultimately serve the American people. It is designed to be incorporated into new and existing processes that drive product development, procurement decisions, and information exchanges. It also captures responsibilities that will never be fully complete - such as supporting foundational research in Al safety and security and exploring Al use cases that benefit the American public - but nevertheless require a concerted, national effort to ensure continued progress.

On April 30th, the White House released National Security Memorandum-22 (NSM) on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience, which updates national policy on how the U.S. government protects and secures critical infrastructure from cyber and all-hazard threats. NSM-22 recognizes the changed risk landscape over the past decade and leverages the enhanced authorities of federal departments and agencies to implement a new risk management cycle that prioritizes collaborating with partners to identify and mitigate sector, cross-sector, and nationally significant risk.
