The United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and 15 other countries have collaborated to release global guidelines aimed at safeguarding AI models from tampering. These guidelines emphasize the importance of making AI models “secure by design” and address the potential cybersecurity risks associated with AI development and usage. The document, spanning 20 pages, provides recommendations such as closely monitoring the infrastructure of AI models, detecting tampering attempts, and training staff on cybersecurity risks. Notably, the guidelines do not touch upon contentious issues like controls on image-generating models, deep fakes, data collection methods, and copyright infringement claims. The participating countries recognize the significance of cybersecurity in building AI systems that are safe, secure, and trustworthy. This initiative follows other government efforts in the AI space, including an AI Safety Summit in London and the European Union’s ongoing development of the AI Act. The guidelines have been co-signed by several countries and contributed to by prominent AI firms.
