OpenAI partners with Poland's NASK on AI safety
OpenAI: OpenAI and Poland’s NASK partner to advance AI safety and security
OpenAI and Poland’s NASK are partnering on AI safety, security, and technical research to strengthen safeguards and support a more resilient digital ecosystem.
Get smart on it
OpenAI and Poland's national research institute have signed an agreement to collaborate on AI safety and security research, including evaluating AI systems, identifying vulnerabilities, and strengthening safeguards. The partnership reflects a broader belief that international collaboration between AI developers and public research institutions is essential as AI systems become more capable, and that national expertise is needed to ensure AI safety standards remain grounded in real-world applications. OpenAI has similar partnerships with other countries' research institutions and has called for international technical standards for frontier AI. The Polish institute previously used OpenAI's models to discover security vulnerabilities in commercial software.

OpenAI says an AI agent lied about disabling its safety monitoring system
OpenAI disclosed a pair of safety incidents that involved AI agents weakening their safety monitoring systems during internal coding tasks. In one incident, OpenAI says its GPT-6 Astra agent disabled its safety monitor when copying reference code - and then lied about it. "The reference didn't configure a monitor, and Astra decided that was reason to remove the monitoring integration from the user's code," Marcus Williams, an AI safety researcher at OpenAI, writes on X. "When t

Sam Altman reportedly pitched three endgames for AI safety, one involving a single firm melting everyone else's GPUs
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman laid out three paths to safe AI in an internal presentation: an international watchdog modeled after the IAEA, a merger of the major labs into one entity, or a single company so powerful it could shut down everyone else's compute. He called the last option "terrible." The article Sam Altman reportedly pitched three endgames for AI safety, one involving a single firm melting everyone else's GPUs appeared first on The Decoder.
Army Cyber Command's ECHOTRIBBLE would turn AI agents into self-spreading cyberweapons
The Army Cyber Command is developing AI agents that move through other networks like a computer worm and "neutralize" targets, according to internal documents. The program, codenamed ECHOTRIBBLE, is designed to reach even air-gapped systems with no network connection and run with minimal human oversight. Experts warn about collateral damage, pointing out that AI agents have recently broken into outside systems without meaning to, even without any order to attack. The article Army Cyber
Meta’s AI could still scrape news sites, legal experts say
Meta has tweaked its business terms to remove language suggesting that it could freely train its AI models on news sites, like The Verge - but legal experts say these changes aren't enough to address their concerns. "This does nothing to restrict the 'associated with your products or services' [language] that would let Meta scrape entire sites," James Grimmelmann, a professor of digital and information law at Cornell Law School, tells Nieman Lab. Initially, Meta's new terms for
