Artificial intelligence systems that execute tasks without human oversight or produce the primary basis for federal decision-making are being rapidly embedded across U.S. government, defense, and infrastructure systems. Continuity of compute is now a national security priority, as interruptions within the data centers that run these sophisticated algorithms can put vital national functions at risk. Addressing the growing disparity between the strategic importance of AI and the security and resilience of its underlying infrastructure is vital to prevent data center disruptions from triggering cascading failures across other critical systems.
