AI Giants Call for Collective Action on Cyber Defense

Three major AI companies - OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic - have issued an open letter calling for collective action on cyber defense to address the growing problem of AI attacks.

The companies acknowledge that AI can attack almost any system, including critical infrastructure such as water and power supplies. They are urging governments and organizations to take a unified response to manage these threats.

However, critics argue that the companies have been too slow to act on this issue and have prioritized profits over safety. The letter's timing has also been questioned, coming after two years of advocacy from others for regulation and better management of AI risks.
