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. 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. The letter, published last week, urged the White House to support open source AI efforts, not squash them. 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. “Openness may be one of the most important paths to AI safety and security,” this industry group wrote in their letter.
