The White House wants frontier AI on cyber defence, and it wants it fast. Gold Eagle, a new AI-backed clearinghouse, will pool software vulnerability findings from government and industry. It ranks the worst, then coordinates fixes across US critical infrastructure.
The pitch for AI-written malware is that it moves at machine speed. Washington has now built something to answer it at the same pace.
On Tuesday the White House launched Gold Eagle, an initiative it calls a clearinghouse for cyber vulnerabilities. In a press release, the administration said the system would “receive and patch” flaws “at a speed and scale never seen before”.
The plan pulls together the White House, the Treasury, and Homeland Security through CISA. The newly renamed Department of War joins them. They are working with open-source software groups and critical-infrastructure companies that the government did not name.
