OpenAI tightens controls on new model due to cybersecurity risks

The company said it cannot rule out the new model reaching “Critical” capability, which could enable cyberattacks against sophisticated defenses.

OpenAI said it is tightening controls around its new model after internal concerns about potential cybersecurity risks, as debate over AI security intensifies, CNBC Markets reports.

In its statement, the AI lab said it cannot rule out that the model could reach “Critical” capability, a threshold it associates with the ability to launch cyberattacks against sophisticated cyber defenses.

CNBC World also highlighted the company’s focus on preventing worst case outcomes while the model is developed and deployed under updated restrictions.
