Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI Launches CoSAI To Tackle AI Security Challenges

• Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI, among others, launched CoSAI to create robust AI security and safety standards amid growing concerns.
• CoSAI aims to create secure-by-design AI systems using open-source frameworks.
• Apart from Google, founding members include Amazon, Anthropic, Cisco, Cohere, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI, PayPal, and Wiz.

Tech behemoths Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI, among others, have launched the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) to address AI safety concerns. 

Announced at the Aspen Security Forum, CoSAI aims to establish robust security frameworks and standards for AI development and deployment. This initiative comes at a critical time as the AI landscape continues to evolve rapidly.

Google Announces CoSAI For AI Safety

CoSAI, spearheaded by Google, brings together leading tech companies and organizations to tackle AI security challenges. 

According to the announcement, founding members include Amazon, Anthropic, Cisco, Cohere, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI, PayPal, and Wiz.

Notably, this coalition aims to create secure-by-design AI systems, leveraging open-source methodologies and standardized frameworks to foster trust and security in AI. 

The announcement highlighted the importance of a security framework for artificial intelligence (AI), building on their previously introduced Secure AI Framework (SAIF).

CoSAI aims to advance comprehensive security measures for AI, addressing both current and emerging risks. Besides, the coalition will focus on three initial workstreams: software supply chain security for AI systems, preparing defenders for a changing cybersecurity landscape, and AI security governance.

These workstreams aim to develop best practices, risk assessment frameworks, and mitigation strategies to enhance AI security across the industry.
