Leading AI Companies Collaborate to Enhance AI Security Efforts

Several major players in the AI industry, including Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Intel, IBM, PayPal, Cisco, and Anthropic, have joined forces to create the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI). Announced Thursday, this initiative aims to tackle the “fragmented landscape of AI security” by providing access to open-source methodologies, frameworks, and tools.

CoSAI seeks to address critical concerns surrounding the security, privacy, and safety of generative AI technologies, particularly issues related to leaks of confidential information and automated discrimination. The coalition will operate within the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), a nonprofit that fosters the development of open standards.

Initially, CoSAI will focus on three key goals:

1. Developing best practices for AI security.

2. Addressing industry challenges related to AI.

3. Securing AI applications.

Heather Adkins, Google’s vice president of security, emphasized the importance of this coalition, stating, “We’ve been using AI for many years and see the ongoing potential for defenders, but also recognize its opportunities for adversaries. CoSAI will help organizations, big and small, securely and responsibly integrate AI, leveraging its benefits while mitigating risks.”
