Nvidia, Palantir, Hugging Face join 30 others in race to defend open-weight AI from cyber threats
The New Stack Adrian Bridgwater ● Covered by 37 sources
Thirty-three companies including Nvidia, Palantir, and Hugging Face formed the Open Secure AI Alliance to develop security tools and techniques for open-weight AI models. The alliance includes major tech firms but notably excludes OpenAI and Anthropic, reflecting the competition between closed and open approaches to AI. The move signals a shift in AI safety focus from auditing closed models to securing the infrastructure layer, including patch cycles and tracking model provenance, since downloaded model weights cannot be easily regulated.
