Nvidia, Microsoft, SpaceX, Palantir launch AI safety pact after rogue OpenAI cyberattack on Hugging Face

Nvidia, SpaceX and Microsoft are among dozens of technology companies that have launched a new artificial intelligence safety initiative centred on open-weight models, days after startup Hugging Face was left to fend off a cyberattack carried out by rogue OpenAI systems.
