OpenAI, along with more than a hundred organizations associated with artificial intelligence, has made a call to governments and companies to strengthen cybersecurity measures for public services. This request comes in response to the growing risks associated with new technologies that could jeopardize the security of these institutions.

The open letter released states that there is a "limited window to bolster cyber defenses," emphasizing the urgency for swift and effective action. The organizations involved highlight the importance of protecting data and systems in a landscape where cyber threats are continually evolving.

Among the entities signing the letter are well-known companies in the technology and artificial intelligence sectors, which express the need for a collaborative approach to tackle cybersecurity challenges.

The appeal aims to mobilize the community and relevant authorities in the face of the exponential growth of AI technologies that can generate new types of attacks and vulnerabilities.

The communications from these groups emphasize that enhancing cyber defenses is crucial to ensuring the integrity and security of critical infrastructures, reflecting a consensus on the risks posed by the digital age.
