OpenAI launches subsidized AI cyber defense program for critical infrastructure

OpenAI announced a new initiative providing subsidized access to its models for water, electricity, and local government entities to bolster cyber defenses against AI-enabled attacks. The program, unveiled by president Greg Brockman at a summit with 300 security leaders, addresses chronic underfunding in critical infrastructure cybersecurity. It signals a proactive corporate move to shape AI security norms, though details on scope and implementation remain unclear.
