According to TechCrunch, the Open Safety AI Alliance (OSAA), led by Nvidia, has exceeded 120 member companies just one week after its establishment, including tech and financial giants such as Adobe, BlackRock, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, and Visa. During the Black Hat Cybersecurity Conference held in Las Vegas this week, the alliance established a working group named "Shared AI Findings Exchange" (SAFE) and has submitted multiple proposals open for public comment, managed by the Linux Foundation. The proposals cover confidential reporting mechanisms for AI cybersecurity incidents, alert processes for affected parties, and no-fault attribution analysis frameworks. Meanwhile, member companies are also actively contributing open-source technologies: Nvidia open-sourced the LLM vulnerability scanning tool Garak, Amazon contributed the agent building tool Strands Agents and authorization language Cedar, and Okta and Red Hat are advancing agent identity authentication and governance technologies respectively. Notably, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have not yet joined the alliance, although OpenAI and Google previously co-signed the open letter that spurred the creation of the alliance.
