US to launch AI and cybersecurity coordination group, White House says

The U.S. will formally bring together AI developers and essential services providers to share information on cybersecurity vulnerabilities identified by advanced AI systems and coordinate responses, according to a White House statement, fulfilling U.S. President Donald Trump’s order from June.

Companies including Anthropic ‌and OpenAI ⁠have ⁠released powerful AI systems capable of identifying software and infrastructure vulnerabilities at scale. U.S. officials worry that bad actors could use them to exploit weaknesses in the software systems underpinning critical services – including those of financial institutions, hospitals and energy networks – relied upon by Americans.
