BRUSSELS — ChatGPT maker OpenAI is in talks with the European Commission to grant EU authorities access to a model capable of identifying software vulnerabilities.
The unexpected move is a boon for Europe after weeks of struggling to grasp the cybersecurity risks coming from novel AI models. But it's also a stark contrast with OpenAI rival Anthropic, which hasn’t yet allowed the EU access to its cybersavvy model Mythos.
OpenAI’s lead executive on the initiative, former U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, wrote to the Commission in the night from Sunday to Monday to offer access to the advanced AI model capable of exploiting software gaps, he told POLITICO. The company has also kicked off the “process of contacting member states,” Osborne added.
