Nvidia doesn’t mess around: A week after open AI industry group formed, it’s already showing progress

英伟达雷厉风行:开放人工智能行业组织成立仅一周,已初见成效

The week-old Open Secure AI Alliance (OSAA), an industry group spearheaded by Nvidia that has already grown to over 120 companies, has developed a cutely named working group, the Shared AI Findings Exchange, or SAFE. The group is already presenting proposals for open comment, and the Linux Foundation, a member of the group, is managing the proposals. 由英伟达牵头成立仅一周的“开放安全人工智能联盟”(Open Secure AI Alliance,简称 OSAA)目前已拥有超过 120 家成员公司。该联盟近日组建了一个名称十分讨巧的工作组——“共享人工智能发现交流中心”(Shared AI Findings Exchange,简称 SAFE)。目前,该工作组已提交相关提案供公开征求意见,并由联盟成员 Linux 基金会负责管理这些提案。

The group developed them while members gathered at the nexus of the cybersecurity world, the Black Hat conference, taking place this week in Las Vegas. The guidelines are nothing terribly earth-shattering for now. The proposals cover areas like how to confidentially report AI cybersecurity incidents, alert those affected, and then do blame-free analysis so all can learn from them. 这些提案是在本周于拉斯维加斯举行的网络安全盛会“黑帽大会”(Black Hat)期间,由聚集于此的成员们共同制定的。目前,这些准则尚不具备颠覆性的影响。提案涵盖了如何保密报告人工智能网络安全事件、如何通知受影响方,以及如何进行“无责分析”以便各方从中汲取经验等领域。

At the same time, members of the OSAA are also contributing and cataloging bits and pieces of their open source technology that might be useful. This may, as these types of industry organizations go, eventually coalesce into an open source means for an enterprise to secure their AI agents, or defend against rogue AI attackers, such as the OpenAI model that infiltrated Hugging Face. (Hugging Face is also a member of this group.) 与此同时,OSAA 的成员们也在贡献并整理各自可能具有实用价值的开源技术片段。按照此类行业组织的运作模式,这些贡献最终可能会汇聚成一套开源方案,帮助企业保护其人工智能代理,或防御恶意人工智能攻击者——例如此前渗透进 Hugging Face 的 OpenAI 模型(Hugging Face 也是该联盟的成员之一)。

For instance, Nvidia has noted that it offers an entire family of open models, as well as an open source LLM vulnerability scanner called Garak; Okta is working on agent identity tech; Red Hat is working on agent governance; and Amazon has contributed both an open agent building tool, Strands Agents, and an authorization language, Cedar. And there are many more examples. 例如,英伟达指出其提供了一整套开放模型,以及名为 Garak 的开源大语言模型漏洞扫描器;Okta 正在研发代理身份验证技术;红帽(Red Hat)致力于代理治理;亚马逊则贡献了开源代理构建工具 Strands Agents 以及授权语言 Cedar。类似的例子不胜枚举。

The group now includes a host of big names, including Adobe, BlackRock, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, and Visa, but there are some notable absences, like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. Interestingly, both OpenAI and Google signed the original open letter that spawned this group. The letter, published last week, urged the White House to support open source AI efforts, not squash them. It was championed by Nvidia and signed by over 200 tech companies. 该联盟目前汇集了 Adobe、贝莱德(BlackRock)、思科、英特尔、微软和 Visa 等众多行业巨头,但 Anthropic、OpenAI 和谷歌等知名企业的缺席也引人注目。有趣的是,OpenAI 和谷歌都曾签署了促成该联盟成立的最初那封公开信。这封上周发布的公开信敦促白宫支持而非打压开源人工智能的发展。该信由英伟达发起,并获得了超过 200 家科技公司的联署。

While Anthropic’s cold shoulder to the letter and the industry group to date is not a surprise, both OpenAI and Google have released open weight models of their own. Google is generally known as a big supporter of open source, too. We’ll see if they join as this group builds momentum. 尽管 Anthropic 迄今为止对该公开信和行业联盟表现出的冷淡态度并不令人意外,但 OpenAI 和谷歌其实都发布过各自的开放权重模型。谷歌通常也被视为开源事业的坚定支持者。随着该联盟影响力的不断扩大,我们拭目以待他们是否会加入其中。

Meanwhile, the group is operating at AI speeds. It’s only been a couple of weeks since news broke that the Trump administration was considering banning Chinese open weight models, causing the industry consternation that resulted in the open letter. Whatever ultimately happens with Chinese open weight models in the U.S., the fast action by this heavyweight group appears to be a good thing for the U.S. open AI ecosystem. 与此同时,该联盟正以“人工智能速度”高效运作。就在几周前,有消息称特朗普政府考虑禁止中国开放权重模型,这引发了业界的恐慌,并最终促成了那封公开信。无论中国开放权重模型在美国的最终命运如何,这个重量级组织采取的迅速行动,对于美国的开源人工智能生态系统而言似乎是一件好事。

Some in the ecosystem, like the co-founder and chief technology officer of U.S. open weight AI lab Arcee, say that’s ultimately the way to best any threat — real or imagined — that Chinese AI labs pose to the United States. “Openness may be one of the most important paths to AI safety and security,” this industry group wrote in their letter. Looks like they are ready to immediately put their effort — and their tech — where their mouths are. 生态系统中的一些人士,例如美国开放权重人工智能实验室 Arcee 的联合创始人兼首席技术官认为,这终究是应对中国人工智能实验室对美国构成的任何威胁(无论是真实的还是想象的)的最佳途径。“开放可能是实现人工智能安全与保障的最重要路径之一,”该行业组织在信中写道。看起来,他们已经准备好立即将他们的努力——以及他们的技术——付诸实践。
