OpenAI is noticeably absent from the list of initial supporters of a new industry initiative to promote the creation of strong, safe, defensive AI cybersecurity tools built on open-source platforms.
The Open Secure AI Alliance is an initiative of Nvidia with the backing of over 30 major AI makers and users, including Cisco, Databricks, Dell Technologies, HPE, IBM, Microsoft, OpenClaw, Palantir, Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow, Siemens, Snowflake, and Thinking Machines.
One of the drivers for the group’s creation, Nvidia said, was the recent incident in which OpenAI allowed two of its most powerful closed-source AI models to hack Hugging Face, but Hugging Face was unable to use similar commercial models to analyze the attack to defend itself.
