“Advancements in AI technology are expanding by the day and we need to make sure our cybersecurity defenses are moving with it,” said Ranking Member Thompson. “This bill creates a dedicated CISA task force so the agency can better understand the risks that come with AI and make sure we are prepared to protect the systems and infrastructure Americans rely on every day. I am proud to work alongside Representative Carter to reintroduce this critical legislation and help ensure our defenses are ready for what comes next.”
Support legislation to establish a dedicated CISA task force to address AI-related cybersecurity and infrastructure risks and coordinate DHS AI security efforts.

Assessments
The verified commitment was to support and reintroduce legislation creating a dedicated CISA AI task force, not to secure enactment of the task force. Verified evidence shows Thompson publicly supported/reintroduced the bill, GovInfo lists the bill as introduced by Carter for himself and Thompson, and the bill text would establish the CISA task force and coordinate AI-related security work. Because the promised action was legislative support/reintroduction and Thompson was a named participant, this is delivered in the same term; enactment is not shown, but enactment was not required for this occurrence-specific promise.
