Nvidia, SpaceX, Microsoft launch AI safety initiative as OpenAI cyber attack fallout continues
Nvidia and a host of tech giants on Monday launched a new AI safety initiative focused on open models, as the fallout from a cyber attack committed by a rogue OpenAI model continues. Last week, it emerged that the target of the attack, startup Hugging Face, was unable to use leading U.S. frontier models to defend itself, with guardrails not distinguishing between aggressor and defender. "The recent Hugging Face security incident delivered a clear reminder: cyber defenders need open, frontier agentic systems for self-defense."Alongside Nvidia, other members of the alliance include Microsoft, SpaceX, Palantir, and dozens of other tech companies from the U.S. and Europe.
