IFF Assessment
FOE
The increased cost for securing AI models makes defensive measures more expensive, potentially impacting the accessibility or affordability of these technologies.
Defender Context
As AI models become more sophisticated and integrated into various systems, organizations like OpenAI are investing more heavily in their security. Defenders should be aware that advanced security measures for AI can translate to increased operational costs, which may influence how and where these technologies are deployed.
