Summary of https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2024-11/24_1114_dhs_ai-roles-and-responsibilities-framework-508.pdf

The document is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in collaboration with an AI Safety and Security Board to address the risks of artificial intelligence (AI) within U.S. critical infrastructure.

The framework outlines roles and responsibilities for five key groups: cloud and compute infrastructure providers, AI developers, critical infrastructure owners and operators, civil society, and the public sector.

The goal is to encourage the safe and secure development and deployment of AI within critical infrastructure sectors, such as energy, transportation, and healthcare, while protecting individual rights and fostering innovation.

The framework addresses five areas of responsibility: securing environments, responsible model and system design, data governance, safe and secure deployment, and performance and impact monitoring.
