# Open Secure AI Alliance Launches 120+ Company Initiative

> A week is a long time in AI security. The Open Secure AI Alliance, an NVIDIA-led industry group, has already grown past 120 member companies since forming, and it is not just a logo wall. The alliance has launched a working group called SAFE, short for Shared AI Findings Exchange, meant to let members pool security findings across the industry rather than each rediscovering the same weaknesses alone. The backdrop is a genuinely worsening threat landscape. AI-enabled cyberattacks are multiplying, and recent incidents have shown that model providers and their users are attractive targets. The bet behind the alliance is that shared defense scales better than isolated effort, an idea borrowed from decades of coordinated vulnerability disclosure in traditional software. Whether a fast-growing consortium can turn into real, timely intelligence sharing is the test. Industry groups can calcify into press releases, but the speed here, and the fact that competitors are sitting at the same table, suggests the security problem has gotten serious enough to override the usual reluctance to collaborate.
