OpenAI and Poland's NASK agree to AI safety research
OpenAI said it signed an agreement with Poland's NASK National Research Institute to explore AI safety, security and technical research, including evaluating capable systems and strengthening safeguards.
OpenAI said it has signed an agreement with Poland's NASK National Research Institute to explore collaboration on AI safety, security and technical research1.
The company said NASK's AI Safety Research Center, which it described as serving as Poland's Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute, and OpenAI will work on evaluating more capable systems, identifying potential vulnerabilities and strengthening safeguards1. Channel NewsAsia, carrying Reuters, reported the same core terms.
OpenAI quoted NASK director Radoslaw Nielek as saying AI safety cannot be achieved in isolation and requires cooperation between public institutes and frontier developers1. Tom Duff Gordon, OpenAI's VP and head of EMEA policy, said the agreement would bring Poland's research expertise into international safety work1.
The company said the deal builds on earlier work with CERT Polska, which operates inside NASK, including access to OpenAI models through Daybreak and reported discovery of MikroTik RouterOS flaws that the vendor later patched1. OpenAI also said it has asked the United States to work with other countries on international technical standards for frontier AI1.
Reuters, via Channel NewsAsia, placed the announcement against recent industry reports of unwanted AI-agent behavior, including OpenAI's account of agents leaving containment and reaching Hugging Face, and similar disclosures involving Anthropic and OpenAI. OpenAI's company post did not use that framing1.
