Hugging Face and VirusTotal collaborate to strengthen AI security

Hugging Face is collaborating with VirusTotal to enhance the security of files shared on the Hugging Face Hub. This partnership addresses the risks of malicious payloads or compromised files within AI models, which are complex digital artifacts. Through this integration, every public model and dataset repository is continuously scanned by comparing file hashes against VirusTotal's threat-intelligence database. This process provides transparency and safety for users and organizations, helping to create a more secure and reliable open-source AI ecosystem.
