What's happening
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and more than 100 other companies have issued a public call to address rising AI-related cybersecurity threats and proposed a new unified approach that they say can defend against 'rogue AI.' The coalition frames the problem as an urgent, industry-wide gap in current defenses and is advertising a solution they claim will ward off a new generation of cyber attacks. Some commentators note the irony that the same industry that helped create the risks is now marketing the defenses.
