The exclusion of operational technology (OT) companies from accessing advanced AI models developed by US frontier labs poses significant risks to national security. Major hyperscalers and IT companies have been granted special access to these models, which enable them to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by hackers. In contrast, OT companies, which oversee critical infrastructure, have been left out, leaving them vulnerable to potential attacks. This disparity is particularly concerning given the critical role OT systems play in maintaining national security and public safety. The lack of access to these AI-powered vulnerability discovery tools may hinder OT companies' ability to detect and respond to emerging threats, such as those related to CVE numbers that have not been publicly disclosed. This oversight is significant, as it may have severe consequences for the security of critical infrastructure, so it matters that OT companies are given equal access to these advanced AI models to ensure the integrity of national security1.
