Blog post from Elastic
The recent White House National Security Memorandum (NSM) signifies a pivotal shift in U.S. policy by aligning artificial intelligence (AI) innovation with national security goals while safeguarding democratic values and human rights. The memorandum outlines a strategy centered on three objectives: leading in safe AI development, integrating AI to bolster national security, and advancing global AI governance in cooperation with allies. It emphasizes creating secure, transparent AI systems, safeguarding technologies from foreign threats, and establishing ethical AI usage. The NSM also calls for increased investment in AI research and workforce development, alongside the introduction of a Framework to Advance AI Governance and Risk Management. This initiative positions the U.S. as a leader in responsible AI governance and sets a precedent for global collaboration in AI regulation. Meanwhile, Elastic pledges to support secure AI deployment in organizations by offering its Search AI Platform for analyzing cybersecurity threats and integrating proprietary data with large language models.
