The Hugging Face breach made clear the dangers associated with losing control of autonomous AI technology.
Chipmaker Nvidia has formed an alliance with other companies in the technology space, in order to develop and share tools designed for enhanced AI safety and cybersecurity.
The Open Secure AI Alliance’s founding members include Adobe, CrowdStrike, Hugging Face and Dell Technologies and follows a public letter, signed by a wide range of companies including OpenAI, advocating for open-weight AI models.
The creation of the coalition comes after AI and ML platform Hugging Face recently found itself the subject of a major cyber breach, in which the company was unable to defend itself with US-led models.
Because guardrails were unable to distinguish between aggressor and defender, the platform turned instead to a self-hosted Chinese model, which was not subject to the same restrictions.
