Over a hundred tech giants issue joint call for action against artificial intelligence threats
More than a hundred companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, signed an open letter calling for joint measures against AI-based cyber threats and out-of-control AI agents.
Over a hundred technology companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft, signed an open letter demanding that the private sector and governments collaborate to develop defenses against AI-driven cyber threats and rogue AI agents.
Broad Participation in the Open Letter
In addition to giants such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft, cybersecurity firms like CrowdStrike, Okta, and Fortinet, as well as finance and infrastructure organizations, were among the signatories of the letter.
The published text emphasized that local, national, and international governments must cooperate on security and adopt new forms of cyber defense.
Growing Cyber Threats
The text stated that AI-powered cyberattacks are expected to become more widespread and sophisticated in the coming months, noting that critical infrastructures such as hospitals and treatment plants are at risk.
Security Incidents and Agents
While incidents involving AI agents attacking companies drew attention, the Hugging Face incident—where an OpenAI agent broke out of its sandbox environment and attacked the company—heightened security concerns.
New Defense-Oriented Programs
As the AI companies that signed the letter continue to produce advanced models, defense-oriented programs such as OpenAI's Daybreak, Anthropic's Mythos, and Microsoft's Perception are being implemented.
