SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of this meeting is given pursuant to
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 1009, which
requires each FACA committee meeting to be open to the public unless
the President, or the head of the agency to which the advisory
committee reports, determines that a portion of the meeting may be
closed to the public in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c).
The HSAC provides organizationally independent, strategic, timely,
specific, actionable advice, and recommendations to the Secretary of
Homeland Security on matters related to homeland security. The Council
consists of senior executives from government, the private sector,
academia, law enforcement, and non-governmental organizations.
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Threats & Defense Subcommittee is
tasked with (1) assessing the ways AI systems can be utilized and
leveraged by adversarial forces and (2) providing recommendations to
the Secretary on development and research strategies and defense
initiatives to combat against malevolent and adversarial AI
utilization.
The HSAC will meet in a closed session from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
ET to receive a For Official Use Only (FOUO) and Law Enforcement
Sensitive (LES) draft report from the AI Threats and Defense
Subcommittee. HSAC members will receive a briefing from the
Subcommittee Leadership and then the members will deliberate on the
FOUO//LES report and vote on the report. Senior DHS Leadership will
provide remarks prior to adjournment.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d), the
Secretary of Homeland Security has determined this meeting must be
closed as the disclosure of the information relayed would be
detrimental to the public interest for the following reasons:
The Council will participate in a sensitive operational discussion
containing For Official Use Only and Law Enforcement Sensitive
information. The session is closed pursuant to U.S.C. 552b(c)(7) and
(9)(B) because the disclosure of this information could significantly
frustrate implementation of proposed agency actions.
Dated: August 9, 2023.
Rebecca Sternhell,
Acting Executive Director, Homeland Security Advisory Council,
Department of Homeland Security.
