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

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on the Department of Homeland Security to work closely with state and local governments to defend against artificial intelligence-strengthened hacks. Schumer wants a plan from DHS by July 1 on coordinating with state and local governments on various cybersecurity questions. He is concerned about the capabilities of DHS to carry out this coordination due to federal funding cuts and lack of a Senate-confirmed director.
