AI concerns drive CSRIC revival.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to revive the Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council (CSRIC IX) by March 30, 2024, in response to the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on radio operations. CSRIC IX, operating for two years, will focus on providing recommendations for the nation’s communication systems, specifically in the domains of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The FCC is actively seeking nominations for diverse stakeholders, spanning the communication industry, government agencies, and consumer organizations, to form the council. Addressing public safety and homeland security-related communication issues, CSRIC IX will function under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, potentially forming subcommittees for efficient operation. Members will undergo ethics reviews, file financial disclosure reports, and serve without compensation, with a nomination deadline of February 3, 2024. The renewed council aims to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in the radio landscape.
