a16z 前网络安全官员 Anne Neuberger 提出用 AI 防御美国关键基础设施
Anne Neuberger 曾是白宫副国家安全顾问，现在 a16z 发表了这份防御计划。她把防御范围缩小到几百个关键运营商，主张用 AI 找漏洞、隔离打不了补丁的系统。做 AI 安全或关基防护的人可以看看这份计划的具体分工设计。
a16z 的 Anne Neuberger 在《华尔街日报》撰文，提出一份面向超智能时代的美国关键基础设施网络防御计划。她指出，电网、供水系统等核心设备的设备已运行数十年，部分系统无法打补丁，否则可能导致停运。
计划的核心是聚焦几百个关键运营商和共享供应商，一旦其失效可能引发全国性连锁反应，覆盖电力、银行支付、水务、通信和医院五个领域。具体做法包括：白宫设定结果导向目标，如确保控制系统不暴露于互联网；用 AI 发现并修复漏洞、隔离无法打补丁的系统、测试关键服务在攻击下能否持续运行；要求基础设施企业 CEO 对结果负责。
计划还要求 AI 实验室与基础设施运营商合作构建数字孪生，让高风险补丁先在离线环境中测试。文章的核心论点是：不能以人类速度防御以机器速度运行的攻击。
AI can help defend America's critical infrastructure as fast as attackers now operate. Much of the equipment running power grids, water systems, and other essential services is decades old. Some of it can't be patched without risking an outage. a16z's Anne Neuberger proposes a public-private defense plan focused on the few hundred operators and shared vendors whose failure could cascade nationally, across power, banking and payments, water, communications, and hospitals. Super Intelligence-Era Critical Infrastructure Cyber Defense Plan: a16z.news/p/super-intell… Anne Neuberger @AnneNeuberger We cannot defend America’s infrastructure at human speed against attacks moving at machine speed. In today’s WSJ, I make the case for using AI to protect the systems that keep our water flowing, hospitals operating and lights on. Here’s the action plan: a16z.news/p/super-intell… - Start with the few hundred operators and shared suppliers whose failure could cascade nationally. -The White House must set outcome-based goals, like ensuring control systems aren't exposed to the Internet. - Use AI to find and fix flaws. Contain what cannot be patched. Test whether essential services can keep running under attack. - CEOs of critical infrastructure firms should be accountable for these outcome-based results. - The White House, infrastructure operators, AI labs and technology providers each have a role. AI labs, for example, should work with critical infrastructure operators to build digital replicas so high risk patches can be tested offline. AI can give defenders an advantage. We need to organize to use it. wsj.com/opinion/cybera… 🔗 View Quoted Tweet📊 7 ⚡
