Committee Updates
Ethical AI (AIC)
The committee debated issues related to players using AI tools to cheat. The team discussed the need for processes to allow operators to share information about the methods being used by identified cheats with other operators and regulators to help prevent similar instances from occurring.The time frame to disclose and the procedure to do so, including the need to protect the disclosing entity’s identify, were also discussed.
Cyber Resiliency (CRC)
The committee discussed the benefits of Fusion Centers as a means for information on, and escalation of, issues identified. The team also discussed the inherent limitations on ISACs to share information with other ISACs due to NDAs with their Members. However, the team also determined that there may be a way forward. A panel discussion topic during the R-H ISAC / IGSA Cybersecurity Workshop resulted from this discussion.
Emerging Technologies (ETC)
The first meeting of this new committee has been postponed due to timing of several conferences.
It will most likely meet in late October or early November.
