Cybersecurity for AI Assets
The development of cybersecurity specifically tailored for artificial intelligence companies is becoming increasingly crucial as AI evolves. Protecting the valuable digital assets, particularly the weights of large language models like GPT-4, poses a significant challenge for these firms, as a breach could allow hackers to replicate advanced AI without incurring the original development costs. This opportunity echoes earlier trends seen in the cryptocurrency space, where companies like Chainalysis emerged to provide critical oversight and protection against threats.
