The Power of Community Collaboration in Solving Critical AI Security Issues
11:15—11:35
 

Securing AI systems and applications in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape requires a collaborative, community-driven approach. The OASIS Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) was established to unite diverse voices across industry, government, and academia to tackle the critical challenge of ensuring AI security. This 20-minute session will explore the vital role that community collaboration plays in addressing AI security risks and fostering practical solutions.

The presentation will begin by introducing CoSAI’s mission to drive secure AI development and highlighting the unique opportunity for the cybersecurity community to contribute to this important effort. With over 30 founding members, CoSAI emphasizes the power of collaboration in developing open-source tools, frameworks, and governance standards.

Participants will gain insights into three key technical workstreams that CoSAI is advancing to address pressing AI security challenges:

Attendees will explore three key workstreams:

  • Securing the AI Software Supply Chain: CoSAI is expanding frameworks like SSDF and SLSA to address AI-specific risks.
  • Preparing Defenders for AI-Driven Threats: CoSAI develops tools to counter new AI-enhanced attack vectors.
  • AI Risk Governance: CoSAI is crafting governance models and readiness assessments for AI products.
Throughout the session, the speaker will emphasize the importance of community input and highlight how CoSAI is different from other AI initiatives by focusing solely on securing AI systems. Attendees will learn how they can contribute to this open-source initiative, whether through technical expertise, feedback, or active participation in CoSAI’s workstreams.

The presentation will close with a call to action, inviting participants to join the CoSAI community, contribute to the ongoing development of security solutions, and help shape the future of AI security. Whether you are a cybersecurity professional, developer, or AI researcher, this is your opportunity to be part of a collaborative effort that will secure AI for the benefit of all.
