The tiny U.S. government division charged with assessing the safety of new artificial intelligence offerings doesn’t have a permanent leader and has stopped publishing its research.
Summary
This comes as anxiety grows over reports about out-of-control AI agents. Officials with the Center for Advancing Innovation and Standards for Super Intelligence, an independent Commerce Department division, recently were asked to informally report to an office of the White House. That’s according to two former government officials with knowledge of the ongoing conversations.
Critics worry that under this arrangement, the executive branch could politicize key decisions and alter research in deference to the tech industry.
KazaSec's take
AI-related security incidents are a genuinely new category, prompt injection, model manipulation, and data leakage through an LLM integration don't map cleanly onto traditional application security testing, and are worth assessing deliberately rather than assuming existing controls already cover them.
