# Nvidia-Led Open Secure AI Alliance Establishes Guidelines for AI Incident Reporting

> A week after it was announced, the Nvidia-led Open Secure AI Alliance is already shipping. The group, formed in late July with backing from more than 120 companies including Adobe, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, and Visa, has stood up a working group called SAFE, the Shared AI Findings Exchange, to give members a confidential channel for reporting AI security incidents and a blame-free way to analyze what went wrong. The model borrows from aviation and cybersecurity, where near-miss reporting only works if the people filing reports do not fear being punished for them. Members are also pooling tools: Nvidia is contributing its Garak vulnerability scanner, Red Hat is bringing agent-governance software, and Amazon is offering agent builders, so the alliance is more than a press release. One notable absence stands out. OpenAI and Anthropic both signed the original open letter that led to the alliance but have not formally joined, a gap worth watching as the two most prominent frontier labs decide whether to plug into an industry-wide incident-sharing system or keep their disclosures in-house.
