NVIDIA launches 'Open Secure AI Alliance' initiative to improve cyber defense

NVIDIA has gathered together some of the biggest tech companies in the world to form the Open Secure AI Alliance with the goal of improving cybersecurity. Among the 27 founding members are Microsoft, SpaceX, Dell, The Linux Foundation and NVIDIA itself. "The Open Secure AI Alliance -- building on the leadership of the Linux Foundation's Akrites initiative and OpenSSF community work -- will work to remediate and disclose vulnerabilities using open technologies," NVIDIA wrote. The group argues that to best defend against attacks in the age of AI models like Anthropic's Mythos 5, security researchers need access to both open and closed frontier models. As a prime example, NVIDIA cited OpenAI's recent rogue attack on Hugging Face.
