The Action Plan path

One pillar in. One pitch asset out.

Our weekly operating rule, straight from the strategy: map one AI Action Plan action to one pitch asset — so the library compounds into pipeline.

Defensive AI FAQ

What buyers and leaders need to know.

What is the Defensive AI Playbook Library?

Four playbooks covering AI evaluations, AI red-teaming, secure deployment, and AI governance. Each one documents the methodology, the winning tools, and the leader’s framing for clients and stakeholders.

How does Boots align with America’s AI Action Plan?

We lead where the plan creates demand: Pillar I’s AI evaluations ecosystem (actions 39–43), Pillar II’s secure-by-design and cyber push (actions 72, 80–87), and workforce AI (actions 18–23) — mapping each pillar to services agencies can procure.

What does “defensive AI” mean?

The disciplines that make AI safe to deploy: evaluating that it works, red-teaming that it survives attack, securing its deployment, and governing its risk. Offense builds AI; defense makes it trustworthy.
