At the Aspen Security Forum, 14 major companies in the AI field, including Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Amazon, NVIDIA, and Intel, announced the formation of the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI).

CoSAI is hosted by the OASIS global standards organization and is an open-source initiative aimed at providing guidance and tools necessary for all AI practitioners and developers to create secure AI systems. CoSAI will establish a collaborative ecosystem to share open-source methods, standardized frameworks, tools, and more.

The founding sponsors of CoSAI include Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and PayPal. Other founding sponsors include Amazon, Anthropic, Cisco, Chainguard, Cohere, GenLab, OpenAI, and Wiz.

CoSAI will initially focus on achieving three goals:

1. Developing best practices for AI security

2. Addressing challenges in the field of artificial intelligence

3. Ensuring the security of AI applications

The scope of CoSAI's work includes the secure construction, integration, deployment, and operation of AI systems, with a focus on reducing risks such as model theft, data poisoning, prompt injection, scale abuse, and inference attacks.

CoSAI is an open-source community led by a project council and a technical advisory board. The project council is responsible for advancing and managing its overall technical agenda, while the technical advisory board, composed of AI experts from academia and industry, oversees its workflows.
