Leading tech companies unite to tackle AI-powered cyber threats
More than 100 companies, from OpenAI and Anthropic to Google, have signed onto a unified call for stronger defenses against rogue AI. They're not asking for sympathy; they're pointing at a real gap in cybersecurity and offering a new, collective solution. It's a pragmatic move, and frankly, it's about time the industry treated AI safety as a shared infrastructure problem rather than a competitive edge. If you're wondering how to assess your own AI's reliability, our piece on verifying understanding is a useful starting point.

This session is about turning your narrative into leverage.
