The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established the Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) to examine how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies can enhance communications. There are moves to re-establish a new version of the advisory committee. network security.
The agency’s CSRIC and predecessor committees began in the early 1990s and have since focused on communications and infrastructure reliability, advances in 911 services, emergency alerts, national security and emergency response communications services, and, among other things, 5G wireless service routing protocols. included.
FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said at the 9th CSRIC that “artificial intelligence and machine learning will improve the security, reliability, and reliability of communications networks in a nondiscriminatory, transparent, and socially responsible manner. “The main focus will be on how we can strengthen integrity.”
F.C.C. Said Rosenworcel said on Dec. 20 that the next generation will also address forward-looking issues such as the security and reliability risks inherent in emerging 6G networks and the reliability of next-generation 911 networks. “We plan to impose this on CSRIC.”
“The FCC continues to work with federal partners and the private sector to strengthen the security and resiliency of the nation’s communications networks, and CISA once again joins the Communications, Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council I am pleased that I have agreed to chair this meeting,” said Rosenworcel.
“CSRIC is one of the key venues for tackling these complex issues. That is why I am re-establishing CSRIC to address future communications security challenges and lead the way to a more secure and innovative future. I’m in charge of developing a plan to set the path,” she said.
The 9th committee, for a two-year term, will be formed by March this year and its first meeting will be held in June. The previous panel finished its work last year.
The FCC is in the process of recruiting members to join its newest commission. The agency said Rosenworcel would “reconsider including a broad range of stakeholders on the board, including representatives of the FCC’s federal partners with similar interests.”
