Tech giants launch AI safety initiative focused on open models

Nvidia and dozens of other tech companies including Microsoft, SpaceX and Palantir have launched a new artificial intelligence safety initiative focused on open models. The announcement follows news that a Chinese open-weight AI model was able to defend against a cyberattack carried out by rogue OpenAI models. The target of the attack, startup Hugging Face, was unable to use leading U.S. frontier models to defend itself, because guardrails did not distinguish between aggressor and defender. Instead, it turned to a self-hosted, open-weight Chinese model, which was not bound by those same rules. “The Open Secure AI Alliance will work to remediate and disclose vulnerabilities using open technologies,” Nvidia said. “The recent Hugging Face security incident delivered a clear reminder: cyber defenders need open, frontier agentic systems for self-defense.”

Renault to face criminal trial in France

Renault will face a criminal trial in France for aggravated fraud related to allegations that its diesel vehicles were equipped with devices designed to cheat emissions tests. Renault will be the second carmaker, following Volkswagen, to be prosecuted over the so-called dieselgate scandal that began in 2015. The trial is set for April 2027. "Renault Group will defend its innocence, as well as the professionalism and ethics of its 100,000 employees, before the criminal court," the company said in a statement. Renault pointed to a recent decision by London's High Court that largely exonerated it and four other carmakers from charges that the devices were designed to cheat clean air laws. "The operating limits of the emission control systems strictly reconcile emissions reduction with driver safety," the carmaker said. The French prosecutor's office claims Renault vehicles sold from 2009 to 2017 emitted more pollutants than allowed under normal driving conditions.
