SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The scope of the Board's activities can
include, but need not be limited to, information about emergent risks,
threat mitigation guidance, and guardrails for critical infrastructure
owners' and operators' use of AI. The Secretary established the Board
pursuant to subsection 4.3(a)(v) of Executive Order (E.O.) 14110, Safe,
Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence,
dated October 30, 2023, and section 871(a) of the Homeland Security Act
of 2002, 6 United States Code (U.S.C.) 451(a). In recognition of the
sensitive nature of the subject matter involved, the Secretary exempted
the Board from The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. ch.
10. This notice is being provided in accordance with 6 U.S.C. 451(a).
The primary purpose of the Board shall be to provide the Secretary
information, advice, and recommendations to advance the security and
resilience of our nation's critical infrastructure in its use of
artificial intelligence (AI). The Board's advice and recommendations
are to be specific, actionable, timely, and strategic, and targeted to
mitigate emerging risks to critical infrastructure from its use.
The duties of the Board are solely advisory in nature and shall
extend only to the submission of information, advice, and
recommendations to the Secretary. In recognition of the sensitive
nature of the subject matter involved, the Secretary exempted the Board
from The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. ch. 10.
Membership: The Board shall consist of no more than thirty-five
(35) Representative Members and the Secretary. The Secretary shall
Chair the Board and shall select a Vice Chair. The Secretary shall be a
non-voting member of the Board.
The Chair shall lead Board meetings and provide strategic
leadership and direction for the Board discussions and activities. The
term of office of the Vice Chair shall be two years. The Vice Chair may
be reappointed by the Secretary, not to exceed two additional terms. If
the Vice Chair is not able to serve for an entire term, the Secretary
shall make a new appointment.
The Board Members shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure
of the Secretary. Members shall serve a term of two years, with
opportunities to be reappointed for up to two additional terms.
In order for the Secretary to fully leverage broad-ranging
experience and education, the Board shall be diverse with regard to
professional and technical expertise. DHS is committed to pursuing
opportunities, consistent with applicable law, to compose a Board that
reflects the diversity of the AI community. In accordance with E.O.
14110, the Board shall include AI experts from the private sector,
academia, and government, as appropriate.
Board Members shall be comprised of Representative Members only.
Members shall not serve as Special Government Employees as defined in
18 U.S.C. 202(a). The DHS Office of Partnership and Engagement shall
ensure that the Board reflects a balanced membership and includes a
cross-section of Members having an interest in the duties and
authorities of DHS. Appointments shall be made without regard to
political affiliation. In the event the Board is terminated, all
appointments to the Board shall terminate automatically.
Duration: The Secretary may extend the Board every two years as the
Secretary deems appropriate, pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 451.
Michael J. Miron,
Committee Management Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
