AI technology is deficient in cybersecurity controls, regulations, and the policies to govern it. While AI benefits cybersecurity, it also presents new risks and threats. AI is vulnerable to exploitation and weaponization by bad actors & cybercriminals. AI systems require ethical and technical guardrails to ensure integrity. The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity requires the framework, policies, laws, and solutions to support it. The National Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity ISAO (NAIC – ISAO) maintains a technological advantage while defending against threats, it adopts a whole-of-nation approach and operates with cohesion across all sectors. The National Artificial Intelligence NAIC – ISAO addresses these challenges and supports National Security, promotes innovation, and cultivates cyber diplomacy with our allies.
