NVIDIA announced the Open Secure AI Alliance, founded with industry partners including Perplexity, to build and share open tools for AI safety and security, building on the Linux Foundation's Akrites initiative and OpenSSF.
- Core argument: as open source underpins cybersecurity, AI defenses should rest on open models, harnesses and tools that any defender can study, adapt and deploy — not a few opaque systems with single points of failure
- The alliance will remediate and disclose vulnerabilities using open technologies
- It acknowledges open models can be misused (weakened safeguards, repurposed for attacks) but argues those risks are not unique to open systems
