AI needs a security framework and applied standards that can keep pace with its rapid growth. That's why last year we shared the Secure AI Framework (SAIF), knowing that it was just the first step. Of course, to operationalize any industry framework requires close collaboration with others - and above all a forum to make that happen.
Today at the Aspen Security Forum, alongside our industry peers, we're introducing the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI). We've been working to pull this coalition together over the past year, in order to advance comprehensive security measures for addressing the unique risks that come with AI, for both issues that arise in real time and those over the horizon.
CoSAI includes founding members Amazon, Anthropic, Chainguard, Cisco, Cohere, GenLab, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Paypal and Wiz - and it will be housed under OASIS Open, the international standards and open source consortium.
Introducing CoSAI's inaugural workstreams
As individuals, developers and companies continue their work to adopt common security standards and best practices, CoSAI will support this collective investment in AI security. Today, we're also sharing the first three areas of focus the coalition will tackle in collaboration with industry and academia:
Additionally, CoSAI will collaborate with organizations such as Frontier Model Forum, Partnership on AI, Open Source Security Foundation and ML Commons to advance responsible AI.
What's next
As AI advances, we're committed to ensuring effective risk management strategies evolve along with it. We're encouraged by the industry support we've seen over the past year for making AI safe and secure. We're even more encouraged by the action we're seeing from developers, experts and companies big and small to help organizations securely implement, train and use AI.
AI developers need - and end users deserve - a framework for AI security that meets the moment and responsibly captures the opportunity in front of us. CoSAI is the next step in that journey and we can expect more updates in the coming months. To learn how you can support CoSAI, you can visit coalitionforsecureai.org.
