SKIP ADVERTISEMENT The company is continuing to back A.I. systems that can be freely used by others amid a continuing debate over the use of Chinese-made technology.
Nvidia has created a coalition to work on “open-source” safety and cybersecurity tools for artificial intelligence with other big technology companies, including Microsoft and SpaceX.
The announcement on Monday comes days after OpenAI said that two of its A.I. models went rogue and successfully hacked into a digital library for A.I., reigniting a debate over whether the technology should be freely shared, or closely controlled by a small group of experts.
The new alliance is being formed after Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, set off an industrywide defense on Friday of open-source A.I., particularly as so-called frontier models from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic push the edge of A.I. abilities.
Mr. Huang’s defense of open-source technology added a new wrinkle to the debate over the safety of A.I. models made by Chinese companies. Hugging Face, the company that was attacked by OpenAI’s A.I. models last week, said it used a Chinese-made A.I. model to protect itself.
Nvidia’s alliance, called the Open Secure AI Alliance, includes Dell and a range of smaller companies. It will also use open-source tools to address and disclose software vulnerabilities.
“The United States and its partners now face a choice in A.I. security: whether the defenses that protect our infrastructure will sit inside a few opaque systems or be built on open models,” Nvidia wrote in a blog post.
