Tech industry leaders join to form Open Secure AI Alliance to promote safety and security

Nvidia Corp. today announced the launch of the Open Secure AI Alliance, a new organization founded by technology, cloud computing and cybersecurity leaders to build and share open artificial intelligence tools.

As the capability and strength of AI tools grows and shapes the technology industry, it is becoming instrumental for safety, security and trust to remediate and secure vulnerabilities within this emerging software. The company said just as open source created a shared foundation for software, AI security now faces an equally important critical mass where too much of the infrastructure is closed, opaque and difficult to tap into by the larger community.

A who’s who of leaders from cloud computing, cybersecurity, enterprise software, open-source foundations and AI research joined the inaugural launch of OSAA. In addition to Nvidia, founding partners included Adobe Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., Cloudera Inc., Cloudflare Inc., Databricks Inc., Hugging Face Inc., OpenClaw, IBM Corp., Red Hat, Salesforce Inc., Snowflake Inc. and Thinking Machines Lab Inc., among almost two dozen more.

The mission of the OSAA is to ensure that defenders have access to open, frontier tools that they can trust and control.
