After water attacks, Capitol Hill offers its own proposal for an AI-cyber test program - CyberScoop

A House Democrat has introduced legislation to establish a test program within the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency that would give critical infrastructure operators free access to frontier AI models to protect their systems. CyberScoop reports the proposal as Capitol Hill's own offering after water attacks. The excerpt describes the bill as a proposal for an AI-cyber test program.

The same directive covers the provision of technical assistance. The excerpt states that critical infrastructure operators would receive access to frontier AI models at no cost.

CISA is an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, the department the bill directs to run the program. The excerpt does not state whether the bill has been referred to a committee, how model access would be governed, or what security requirements participating operators would face. Nor does it say who would supply the models, whether operators would have to report what they find, or how the program would be renewed or evaluated.
