Nvidia said that the mission of the alliance is ‘to ensure defenders everywhere have open, frontier tools they can trust and control’.

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.

In a blogpost announcing the alliance, Nvidia said the coalition will work to “remediate and disclose vulnerabilities using open technologies”.

The creation of the coalition comes after AI and machine learning platform Hugging Face recently found itself the subject of a major cyber breach initiated by a rogue OpenAI agent, in which the company was unable to defend itself with US AI models due to guardrails being unable to distinguish between aggressor and defender.
