Sen. Schumer seeks DHS plan on AI cyber coordination with state, local governments

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asked the Department of Homeland Security to produce a plan by July 1 to better coordinate with state, local, tribal, and territorial governments on defending against AI-enhanced cyberattacks, citing worries about Multistate ISAC funding cuts and the absence of a Senate-confirmed CISA director; he urged steps on identifying AI talent, rapid patching, and risk assessments to protect critical services.
