Cybersecurity agencies from the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, and New Zealand have jointly published new guidance for safely integrating artificial intelligence into critical infrastructure systems. The 25-page document outlines four key principles for securing AI in operational technology environments that control power grids, water systems, and other vital services.

The guidance addresses AI's benefits—like predictive maintenance and anomaly detection—while warning about risks including system compromise, safety impacts, and worker skill erosion from over-relying on automation. The principles cover understanding AI risks, defining clear business cases, establishing governance frameworks, and implementing oversight mechanisms with failsafe systems to ensure public safety.
