37 Companies Form Alliance for Open AI Security
NVIDIA, Microsoft, IBM, and 34 other technology firms have launched the Open Safety AI Coalition. The initiative aims to build and share open-source tools to advance the secure and responsible use of artificial intelligence.
NVIDIA, Microsoft, and IBM, alongside 34 other technology companies, have announced the formation of the Open Safety AI Coalition. This new alliance is dedicated to creating and sharing open-source tools designed to promote the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence.
The coalition brings together leading organizations from the cloud computing, cybersecurity, enterprise software, and AI research sectors. The core objective is to enhance the security and transparency of AI systems through collaborative efforts and the dissemination of open technologies.
Building upon existing open-source foundations, such as the Linux Foundation's Akrites initiative and the OpenSSF community, the Open Safety AI Coalition aims to identify and address security vulnerabilities. This focus on open-source solutions is intended to bolster defenses and foster greater trust in AI technologies.
According to the founding members, open models and frameworks are crucial for democratizing defensive capabilities and increasing transparency in AI security. The coalition's stated mission is to ensure that defenders have access to trustworthy and controllable open-source tools, offering a vital complement to proprietary systems and mitigating the risks associated with single points of failure.
