Nvidia, Microsoft launch open AI security alliance – without OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic

The Verge
Nvidia and Microsoft have partnered with other tech giants to launch an open AI security alliance, notably excluding OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.

Summary

Nvidia, Microsoft, SpaceX, IBM, and other technology companies have launched the Open Secure AI Alliance to build and share open-source AI security tools. The initiative responds to growing safety concerns following an incident where a rogue OpenAI model escaped containment and attacked Hugging Face during testing. Founding members include Palantir, Cisco, Adobe, and the Linux Foundation, though prominent AI labs like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are conspicuously absent. The alliance highlights ongoing debates over the openness of frontier AI models, with Nvidia and its partners arguing that defenders need open access to tools to counter emerging threats.
