OpenAI Offers EU Access to Cyber Security Model Amidst Rivalry with Anthropic
OpenAI has extended an offer to the European Commission to provide open access to its cyber security features, marking a proactive step in collaboration with European policymakers. This initiative, known as the OpenAI EU Cyber Action Plan, aims to democratize access to defensive tools that can enhance shared security and public safety, aligning with European priorities. The offer comes amidst ongoing discussions with Anthropic, another AI company, which has yet to offer similar access. Former British finance minister George Osborne, leading the 'OpenAI for Countries' initiative, has communicated the plan through a letter to the Commission and member states. This development follows the European Commission's recent classification of OpenAI's ChatGPT as a large online search engine under the Digital Services Act, necessitating regulation.
