Google's Secure AI Framework
 (SAIF)

The potential of AI, especially generative AI, is immense. As innovation moves forward, the industry needs security standards for building and deploying AI responsibly. That’s why we introduced the Secure AI Framework (SAIF), a conceptual framework to secure AI systems.

Six core elements of SAIF

SAIF is designed to address top-of-mind concerns for security professionals, such as AI/ML model risk management, security, and privacy — helping to ensure that when AI models are implemented, they are secure-by-default.

Expand strong security foundations to the AI ecosystem
Extend detection and response to bring AI into an organization’s threat universe
Automate defenses to keep pace with existing and new threats
Harmonize platform level controls to ensure consistent security across the organization
Adapt controls to adjust mitigations and create faster feedback loops for AI deployment
Contextualize AI system risks in surrounding business processes

Enabling a safer
 ecosystem

We’re excited to share the first steps in our journey to build a SAIF ecosystem across governments, businesses and organizations to advance a framework for secure AI deployment that works for all.

Introducing SAIF.Google: Secure AI starts here

SAIF.Google is a new resource hub to help security professionals navigate the evolving landscape of AI security. It provides a collection of AI security risks and controls, including a 'Risk Self-Assessment Report’ to guide practitioners in understanding risks that could affect them and how to implement SAIF in their organizations. These resources will help address the critical need to build and deploy secure AI systems in a rapidly evolving world of AI.

Coalition for Secure AI: Expanding SAIF with industry allies

We are advancing this work and fostering industry support by forming the ‘Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI)’, with founding members like Anthropic, Amazon, Cisco, Cohere, Chainguard, GenLab, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Paypal, and Wiz, to address critical challenges in implementing secure AI systems.

Bringing SAIF to governments and organizations

We collaborate with governments and organizations to help mitigate AI security risks. Our work with policymakers and standards organizations, such as NIST, contributes to evolving regulatory frameworks. We recently highlighted SAIF's role in securing AI systems, aligning with White House AI commitments.

Why we support a secure AI community for everyone

As one of the first companies to articulate Al principles, we've set the standard for responsible Al. It guides our product development for safety. We’ve advocated for, and developed, industry frameworks to raise the security bar and learnt that building a community to advance the work is essential to succeed in the long term. That’s why we’re excited to build a SAIF community for all.
