OpenAI Publishes National Security Principles, Expands Partnerships
OpenAI has published its National Security Principles to increase transparency about how it engages in government and national security work. The company says it developed the principles with cross-company input and external advice from national security expert David Kris, and intends them to govern current and future partnerships. OpenAI says it is expanding defensive collaborations—particularly in cyber and biosecurity—via programs such as Daybreak and has established Trusted Access for Cyber partnerships with several allied countries and EU institutions. It also reported expanded trusted access to its GPT‑Rosalind model for select U.S. government and allied partners supporting public health and biodefense. OpenAI reiterated contractual restrictions it set earlier this year (no mass domestic surveillance, no directing autonomous weapons, no high-stakes automated decisions) and called for legislative safeguards on highest-risk military AI uses.
