Quick Summary

Members of President Donald Trump's AI task force met on Thursday to discuss strategies for encouraging critical infrastructure sectors like banking, energy, and emergency services to report AI-powered cyberattacks. The task force, led by Defense Department technology lead Emil Michael, aims to establish national standards for safety reporting and explore ways for providers to share vulnerability data without facing legal consequences. This initiative follows a series of reported "agentic AI breakouts" and comes as the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, a key law protecting companies that share threat data with the government, nears its expiration next month.
