NIST’s AI guidance pushes cybersecurity boundaries
Tags: access, ai, ciso, control, cybersecurity, data, defense, exploit, framework, intelligence, nist, risk, risk-assessment, software, threatThe limits of ‘AI is just software’: NIST’s instinct to frame AI as an extension of traditional software allows organizations to reuse familiar concepts, risk assessment, access control, logging, defense in depth, rather than starting from zero. Workshop participants repeatedly emphasized that many controls do transfer, at least in principle.But some experts argue that the…
