Explaining the need for this collaboration, Huang cited the recent cyber incident at Hugging Face, where an AI system was involved in breaking into the company’s infrastructure during a security assessment. “During the Hugging Face incident, closed AI prevented necessary forensic investigations. An open-weighted frontier model helped prevent intrusions. That’s why we created the Open Secure AI Alliance,” Huang said.
Purpose and members of the alliance
According to NVIDIA’s blog, this alliance has been formed to ensure that cybersecurity teams have access to advanced AI tools that can be used to investigate and respond to attacks. According to the NVIDIA blog, the alliance aims to promote open and collaborative AI security and help organizations build and use AI systems more securely.
The alliance includes technology companies and organizations such as Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, Dell Technologies, Cloudflare, Red Hat, Hugging Face, Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow, and the Linux Foundation.
NVIDIA said alliance members will contribute AI models, software, datasets, and research to strengthen cybersecurity and improve the safe adoption of AI across industries. The company said the initiative aims to encourage collaboration across the technology industry, as AI becomes a larger part of businesses and critical digital infrastructure. (ANI)
