Nvidia (NVDA) is leading an initiative among a number of companies advocating for open-source AI tools to maintain cybersecurity, the company said Monday.
The alliance said it plans to develop and share open AI security technologies and best practices to help organisations deploy and operate AI systems securely.
Founding members include Cisco Systems (CSCO), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Elastic (ESTC), Red Hat, Snyk and other technology companies.
Nvidia said the initiative is intended to give cyber defenders access to transparent AI systems that can be adapted and deployed on their own infrastructure.
The report cited a recent cybersecurity incident in which a closed AI system blocked crucial forensic examination to see whether it had been breached. "That incident showed a practical truth: when defenders cannot inspect, adapt and run advanced AI on their own infrastructure, their ability to respond is constrained at exactly the moment speed matters most," the statement said.
