Jensen Huang highlighted the critical role of open AI models in providing self-defense capabilities, citing the Hugging Face incident where an open model was used to identify a vulnerability. He argued that closed models are not inherently safer and that diversity in AI technology, including open models, is essential.
“We cannot have single points of failure as an industry, as a world, we should have distributed, massively distributed self defense. And so in the case of in the case of the example you just mentioned, hugging Face thankfully was able to access an open model and I think they used GLM five point two.”
“As my understanding, they couldn't get a proprietary model, they could not get a closed model to help them figure out what happened. But this is exactly the reason why you want to have open models, because in that case, they use GLM five point two to identify where the vulnerability was, where the penetration was, and we're able to quickly identify them and patch it up.”
“And so this is a perfect example of self defense that's necessary, as a perfect example of diversity of AI technology being necessary, and so a perfect example of why open models and open capabilities for self defense is really important.”
