## The brief

EFF is urging lawmakers to base AI cybersecurity rules on demonstrated risks and established security practices. Its recommendations include isolating high-risk testing, recording system activity and investigating incidents independently. The organization argues that public incident reports can help improve defenses while cautioning against inflexible requirements that assume today's AI systems and threats will remain unchanged.
