The Linux Foundation Releases Draft of 'Shared AI Model License' for Public Comment

August 4th, according to Nvidia's blog, as the annual Black Hat security conference kicks off today in Las Vegas, members of the Open Secure AI Alliance are developing new guidance principles to enhance the cybersecurity defense of AI systems.

Currently, the alliance has grown to over 120 organizations. The Linux Foundation today released a draft of the "Shared AI Model Exchange (SAFE) Guide" for public comment. This is a set of proposed principles aimed at transforming cybersecurity incidents in the AI field into a shared defense capability across the entire ecosystem.

The SAFE Guide is being drafted by the Open Secure AI Alliance Working Group. Alliance members including Nvidia, Cisco Systems, CrowdStrike, Hugging Face, and Red Hat are collaborating with the Linux Foundation to support the initial proposal.

The SAFE Guide includes several recommended measures, including: collecting and analyzing AI security incidents and "near-misses" in a confidential manner; notifying affected parties; identifying recurring security control failures; and issuing evidence-based operational recommendations to reduce the risk of the entire system.
