At a meeting at the White House on the 13th, the U.S. government's newly established "Superintelligence Task Force" recommended that federal agencies relax accountability policies for cybersecurity incidents to encourage AI companies to proactively report major security incidents. A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the task force believes the regulatory penalty standards previously used in handling cybersecurity incidents may no longer be applicable and may even discourage companies from sharing important security information. The task force therefore urged agencies to limit companies' regulatory liability for security incidents over the next 12 months and to consider further extending that period. The policy recommendation marks a shift in the task force's stance, from previously favoring penalties under the law for companies that develop unsafe products to encouraging AI developers to report security incidents by reducing liability. Just last month, the task force warned developers that they must report and resolve security incidents or face as-yet-unspecified penalties. According to IT之家, the "Superintelligence Task Force" was established at the end

White House “Superintelligence Task Force” Calls for Loosening Accountability Policies, Encourages AI Companies to Report Cybersecurity Incidents

IT之家, November 14: According to Bloomberg, on the 13th local time, the U.S. government’s newly established “Superintelligence Task Force” met at the White House and recommended that federal agencies relax accountability policies for cybersecurity incidents and encourage AI companies to proactively report major security incidents.

A government official who declined to be named said the task force believes that the regulatory penalty standards used in the past to handle cybersecurity incidents may no longer be applicable and may even discourage companies from sharing important security information.

The task force therefore urged agencies to limit companies’ regulatory liability for security incidents over the next 12 months and to consider further extending the period.

This policy recommendation means the task force’s position has shifted, from previously favoring punishing companies that develop unsafe products in accordance with the law to encouraging AI developers to report security incidents by reducing liability. Just last month, the task force also warned developers that they must report and resolve security incidents, otherwise they could face penalties that have not yet been specified.

IT之家 has learned that the “Superintelligence Task Force” was established at the end of September this year. Previously, a series of runaway AI models triggered security incidents, and public concern that AI could cause catastrophic consequences continued to rise.
