OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 100 other companies call for action to defend against rogue AI

OpenAI、Anthropic、Google 等百余家公司呼吁采取行动,共同抵御流氓 AI

Over a hundred tech companies — including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft — have signed an open letter urging both the private and public sectors to work together to defend themselves from AI-related cyber threats. 包括 OpenAI、Anthropic、Google 和微软在内的百余家科技公司签署了一封公开信,敦促私营和公共部门携手合作,共同抵御与人工智能相关的网络威胁。

The letter — which was also signed by prominent cyber firms like CrowdStrike, Okta, and Fortinet, as well as prominent financial institutions and internet infrastructure firms — calls for the adoption of new forms of cyber defense, while also encouraging governments at the “local, national, and international levels” to collaborate on security. 这封信还得到了 CrowdStrike、Okta 和 Fortinet 等知名网络安全公司,以及大型金融机构和互联网基础设施企业的联署。信中呼吁采用新型网络防御手段,并鼓励“地方、国家和国际各级”政府在安全领域展开协作。

“In the coming months, AI-enabled cyber attacks will become far more widespread and sophisticated as models around the world become increasingly capable,” the letter states. “The companies and public services our communities depend on — from hospitals to water treatment plants to the infrastructure that powers the internet — are at risk.” 信中指出:“随着全球人工智能模型能力日益增强,未来几个月内,由 AI 驱动的网络攻击将变得更加普遍且复杂。我们社区所依赖的企业和公共服务——从医院、水处理厂到支撑互联网的基础设施——都面临着风险。”

The problem AI poses to traditional cybersecurity defenses has been thrust into the spotlight lately by a string of bizarre incidents in which AI agents have attacked companies. The Hugging Face incident — in which one of OpenAI’s agents autonomously broke out of its sandboxed environment and attacked the tech company — has been followed by a trail of other reported break-ins involving agents developed by other AI companies, including Anthropic and Meta. 近期,一系列 AI 智能体攻击企业的离奇事件,将人工智能对传统网络防御构成的挑战推向了风口浪尖。继 OpenAI 的一个智能体自主突破沙盒环境并攻击 Hugging Face 之后,又陆续出现了多起涉及 Anthropic 和 Meta 等公司所开发智能体的入侵报告。

These incidents have bolstered the argument that the field of cybersecurity has been fundamentally altered and that bold new commercial solutions are necessary to mitigate them. The letter further suggests the mobilization of a “collective response,” one in which “new partnerships” are formed “to raise security standards and find new solutions to emerging cyber threats.” 这些事件进一步印证了网络安全领域已发生根本性变革,必须采取大胆的商业新方案来缓解威胁。信中还建议动员“集体响应”,通过建立“新的合作伙伴关系”,以“提高安全标准并寻找应对新兴网络威胁的创新方案”。

Several of the AI companies that have signed the letter are still actively developing ever more advanced AI models, highlighting their conflicted position. At the same time, they are also offering programs to use frontier AI models for defensive purposes, including OpenAI’s Daybreak program, Anthropic’s Mythos, and Microsoft’s new cyber platform Perception. 签署这封信的几家 AI 公司目前仍在积极开发更先进的人工智能模型,这凸显了它们所处的矛盾立场。与此同时,它们也正在提供利用前沿 AI 模型进行防御的项目,包括 OpenAI 的 Daybreak 项目、Anthropic 的 Mythos 以及微软全新的网络安全平台 Perception。
