What’s in the SOSS? Podcast #65 – S3E17 Signing the Future: Securing AI and ML Artifacts with Mihai Maruseac
Brief
Summary
In this episode of What’s in the SOSS? , host Yesenia Yser sits down with Mihai Maruseac, the lead of the OpenSSF AI/ML Working Group and Security and Privacy expert at OpenAI, to dive deep into the unique security challenges facing artificial intelligence.
Unlike traditional software packages, AI models cannot simply be inspected for malware by looking at their weights – malicious code only exposes itself upon execution. Mihai outlines how the community is answering this threat through the evolution of the OpenSSF Model Signing (OMS) specification.
Discover how OMS creates an unshakeable chain of custody for models, data sets, and agent workflows, the structural shift toward implementation-agnostic toolchains, and what the future looks like for a fully realized, end-to-end secure AI supply chain.
