- Over 120 companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and cybersecurity firms CrowdStrike and Okta signed a letter calling for coordinated defense against AI-enabled cyber attacks on hospitals, utilities, and infrastructure.
- Signatories commit to three principles: treat cyber defense as urgent priority, deploy AI-powered defense tools accessibly, and ensure under-resourced critical infrastructure gets support without cost barriers.
- OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft are simultaneously developing cyber defense programs using their own advanced AI models, positioning themselves to sell solutions to the threats their technology may create.
- The letter calls on governments and companies to share working defenses and threat intelligence so smaller organizations can adopt proven security practices without developing solutions from scratch.
