Summary
OpenAI said it has strengthened safety, security, transparency and provenance practices in Europe as the EU AI Act moves into its next implementation phase.
2023 preparedness rules updated in 2025 and a Frontier Governance Framework now guide risk assessment, safeguards, incident response, model reporting and external expert testing for general-purpose AI.
Two provenance tools—C2PA Content Credentials and SynthID watermarks—anchor its transparency approach, with expansion planned from images to audio and eventually broader multimodal outputs including text.
Since May 2026, OpenAI said its EU Cyber Action Plan has worked with EU and national cyber agencies, companies and critical-infrastructure operators to provide advanced cyber models under its Trusted Access for Cyber program.
OpenAI said it will keep updating compliance resources such as system cards, safety information and provenance guidance as regulators, customers and developers adapt to the AI Act.
