OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, Advanced Micro Devices and more than 100 other companies and entities signed a letter on Thursday calling on businesses and policymakers to prioritize cybersecurity and “act decisively” to bolster defenses in the age of artificial intelligence. “We have a limited window to strengthen cyber defenses,” the letter said. The group of 116 entities urged every organization to “raise the security bar” on defense tools, upgrade security systems and utilize a mix of low-cost and frontier models. The letter also called for a coordinated government effort to fund cyber defense and improve accessibility for under-resourced critical infrastructure like hospitals and water treatment plants, which have been major attack targets. The group of signatories includes cybersecurity leaders, financial services companies, semiconductor companies and cloud providers.
