Alternatives

If it is not possible to create the council as described here, the following alternatives can be considered, with their shortcomings:

  1. Create an Assistant to the President for Emerging Technology. This solution alone would not provide the coordination necessary to influence disparate government offices, but it would enable initial research and strategy development.
  1. Restructure the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). CISA is focused on cyberspace specific issues, but it is possible that it could take a larger role in managing AI risks. This solution would not provide a collaboration across government agencies.
