AB 979: California Cybersecurity Integration Center: artificial intelligence.

The bill aims to enhance California's cybersecurity efforts by creating a collaboration playbook between the state's cybersecurity community and artificial intelligence experts. The California Cybersecurity Integration Center must develop this playbook by January 1, 2027, in consultation with relevant agencies. The playbook will facilitate information sharing and strengthen collective defenses against emerging threats. The bill also restricts the disclosure of confidential information related to cyber threat indicators and defensive measures shared through the playbook. The bill makes legislative findings to justify the limitation on public access to meetings and writings of public officials and agencies.
