AI companies face growing concerns over cyber threats to large language models

Protecting large language models (LLMs) from cyber threats is a major concern for companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta. Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam Software, highlighted the importance of securing LLMs to prevent malicious actors from polluting them and creating harmful outcomes. Publicly accessible AI models may face corruption issues that lead to discrimination and other negative consequences. Eswaran underlined the significance of safeguarding LLMs to ensure their responsible use in areas like loan approvals. Veeam's survey revealed that a significant number of organizations experienced ransomware incidents and struggled to recover their data even after paying the ransom.

China is building its own AI at a rapid pace

Chinese tech giants are rapidly developing their own AI models and trying to catch up with their US counterparts like OpenAI. The Chinese government has approved over 40 AI models in the last six months, including 14 Large Language Models (LLMs) in just the past week. Baidu, often referred to as "China's Google," is leading the charge with its AI chatbot Ernie Bot, which has over 100 million users and is considered a competitor to OpenAI's GPT-4 model. However, Chinese companies face both technological and political challenges, as AI models must adhere to strict government regulations and avoid sensitive topics. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, such as restrictions on semiconductor sales, may hinder China's progress in becoming an AI superpower.

Open-source companies are sharing AI free. Can they crack OpenAI’s dominance?

As tech giants like OpenAI dominate the artificial intelligence (AI) market, some companies are trying to compete by offering their AI models for free. Open-source AI models appeal to businesses as they provide access to large language models without the need to pay or share data with proprietary vendors. These companies believe they can generate profit by selling business-grade services and applications on top of their open models and by offering additional features and support that enterprises are willing to pay for. However, open-source AI models still face challenges in terms of initial training costs, licensing, and attracting developers.

Large language models pose growing security risks

As large language models (LLMs) become more widespread, cybersecurity risks increase. These generative AI models can expose sensitive data and bring unsafe code into businesses. Threats range from inadvertent data exposure to prompt injections by malicious entities. The lack of structure in LLM interactions complicates security, and companies must be diligent about data handling and human oversight. With governmental policy lagging, businesses are encouraged to foster industry-wide cooperation and establish robust security practices.

From sci-fi to state law: California’s plan to prevent AI catastrophe

California's proposed bill, SB-1047, aims to regulate the safety of large artificial intelligence (AI) models. The bill requires companies behind AI models with significant training costs to implement testing procedures and systems to prevent and respond to safety incidents. These incidents are defined as AI systems enabling critical harms leading to mass casualties or significant damage. While some argue that the bill is necessary to prevent future AI threats, critics suggest that it focuses too much on fictional concerns and could hinder technological advancements.
