White House Launches Gold Eagle To Coordinate AI-Driven Cyber Defense

The new initiative will connect AI developers, software companies, and critical infrastructure operators to identify and patch vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.

 

The White House launched a cybersecurity initiative called Gold Eagle to help companies and government agencies share information about software vulnerabilities discovered by advanced AI systems.

Announced Tuesday, the program brings together federal agencies, AI developers, and operators of critical infrastructure. The administration said Gold Eagle has already begun collecting and prioritizing vulnerability reports and coordinating responses.

Gold Eagle was created under President Trump’s June 2 executive order, “Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security.” According to the White House, the initiative is intended to reduce duplicate scanning efforts and speed up the process of getting vulnerability information to the organizations responsible for fixing the flaws.

The effort is led by the White House, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Homeland Security through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Department of Defense. Officials said the participating organizations will coordinate responses to vulnerabilities identified by increasingly capable AI systems.

The White House did not identify the companies participating in Gold Eagle.
