The U.S. Congress has introduced the AI Cyber Defense Act, which aims to bolster the country's cybersecurity defenses against AI attacks by designating North Korea and Iran as countries of concern. The bipartisan bill, introduced by Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-NC) and Rep. George Whitesides (D-CA), directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to collaborate with private-sector AI stakeholders in developing voluntary standards and best practices for detecting and preventing AI distillation attacks.
AI distillation is a technique where knowledge or capabilities from one AI model are transferred to another. The legislation mandates NIST to engage with private-sector AI stakeholders within 180 days of the bill's enactment to establish a definition of AI distillation attacks and develop voluntary standards and best practices to detect and prevent them.
