The deadline to contribute to the Shared AI Findings Exchange (SAFE) RFC has been extended to October 7, giving teams additional time to review the proposal and contribute their expertise. SAFE is a community-led effort from the Open Secure AI Alliance to develop a shared framework for securing AI systems. We’re inviting security practitioners, developers and organizations across the ecosystem to help shape the work. Submit your feedback and proposed changes via pull request on GitHub. Following the contribution period, the Technical Steering Committee will integrate community input and vote to formally establish the SAFE working group. The strongest open standards are built through broad participation. We encourage the community to review the RFC and contribute by October 7. https://lnkd.in/e3UaDZ_S
