CTOnews.com, October 26, according to a press release on OpenAI's official website, Microsoft, together with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, has issued a joint statement that it will set up a $10 million (CTOnews.com Note: about 73.2 million yuan) AI security fund, which will mainly be used to promote AI assessment research and help society effectively test and evaluate the "most capable AI model."

▲ Touyuan OpenAICTOnews.com learned from the announcement that the AI security fund will support researchers from affiliated academic institutions, research institutions and start-ups around the world. Initial funding came from Anthropic, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI, as well as other philanthropic partners.

The security fund aims to support the development of new model assessment techniques. "We believe that increased funding in this area will help improve safety standards and provide insights into the mitigation and control needed by the industry, relevant sectors and civil society to respond to the challenges posed by the AI system."

Foreign media TechCrunch said that 10 million US dollars is not a small sum, but it is "quite conservative" in the context of AI security research. This year alone, Anthropic raised billions of dollars from Amazon to develop the next generation of AI assistants.
