From the document: "Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are transforming U.S. critical infrastructure, unlocking new opportunities, and presenting new risks to vital systems and services. The choices that organizations and individuals make regarding how AI systems are developed, how they can be accessed, and how they function within larger systems will determine the impact that AI will have when deployed to broad segments of U.S. critical infrastructure. To inform those choices, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) developed the Roles and Responsibilities Framework for AI in Critical Infrastructure (the 'Framework') in close consultation with the Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board (the 'Board'). The Framework recommends key roles and responsibilities for the safe and secure development and deployment of AI in U.S. critical infrastructure. This Framework seeks to complement and advance the AI safety and security best practices established by the White House Voluntary Commitments, the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, Executive Order 14110 on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, the OMB [Office of Management and Budget] M-24-10 Memorandum on Advancing Governance, Innovation, and Risk Management for Agency Use of Artificial Intelligence, the Memorandum on Advancing the United States' Leadership in Artificial Intelligence, the work of the AI Safety Institute, the DHS Safety and Security Guidelines for Critical Infrastructure Owners and Operators, and others. The roles, responsibilities, use cases, and risks associated with AI in critical infrastructure are complex, interdependent, and will change over time with the evolution of the technology."
