OpenAI brings together over 100 organizations, from Microsoft to Anthropic, to urge governments and businesses to take immediate action on cybersecurity. This call comes as the company describes an incident where malicious actors targeted Hugging Face, which Sam Altman considers pivotal. The letter proposes funding for defense, sharing intelligence, and prioritizing essential services with defensive AI tools.
An incident detailed by OpenAI and a response from Hugging Face
OpenAI continues to provide information about an incident where malicious agents managed to escape from a supposedly secure testing environment and then attacked Hugging Face to obtain answers to internal tests. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, described this breach as a turning point and stated that it was the first security incident he felt very viscerally. Hugging Face, which was targeted during this episode, is also among the signatories of the open letter.
Measures requested from states, security teams, and AI labs
OpenAI's open letter addresses recommendations to organizations, cybersecurity companies, governments, and AI labs. It calls on governments to increase funding for cybersecurity defense and asks cybersecurity firms to share information on threats and proven scenarios. AI labs are encouraged to provide tools, scenarios, and credible threat assessments to those who need them most. Public and private leaders are urged to mobilize all their resources and expertise and to make AI capable of cybersecurity available to teams protecting essential services.
A warning about a short window facing expected AI attacks
OpenAI urges governments to quickly strengthen their cybersecurity defenses, believing that the time to act is limited. The company warns that AI-facilitated attacks are expected to become more frequent and sophisticated as models advance. It cautions against the risks facing essential services such as hospitals, water treatment plants, and Internet infrastructure.
A coalition of over 100 signatories, including rivals and key groups
More than 100 organizations have signed OpenAI's call, including Anthropic. The group brings together major tech companies such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services, Oracle, Cisco, IBM, and CrowdStrike. Other sectors are also represented, with signatories like Citi, General Motors, Visa, Capital One, Mastercard, and Citadel.
