On Thursday, 19 September 2024, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) launched a new programme focusing on the interaction between cybersecurity and privacy of artificial intelligence (AI). The initiative aims to address the growing use and rapid expansion of AI, highlighting the potential benefits for industry, consumers, and society. However, it also underscores the importance of managing the new risks accompanying these advancements.
NIST is particularly interested in understanding how the widespread adoption of AI may impact existing cybersecurity and privacy risks, as well as the approaches to managing them. Its new initiative emphasises the urgent need for standards, guidelines, tools, and practices to enhance the management of cybersecurity and privacy in the era of AI. It also seeks to promote the responsible integration of AI for cybersecurity and data protection purposes while identifying vital measures organisations must take to adapt their defensive strategies to counter AI-enabled offensive techniques.
