OpenAI, Poland's NASK Sign AI Safety Pact, Building on 6 RouterOS Vulnerability Finds

3 articles · Updated · OpenAI · Oct 23

Summary

  • OpenAI and Poland’s NASK signed an agreement to collaborate on AI safety, security and technical research, centering on how to evaluate more capable AI systems, identify vulnerabilities and strengthen safeguards.
  • NASK’s AI Safety Research Center—serving as Poland’s AI Safety Institute—will work with OpenAI on risk assessment and testing aimed at protecting public services and the country’s digital information ecosystem.
  • The deal extends OpenAI’s broader push for international frontier-AI standards and follows its work with public institutes including the US CAISSI and UK AISI on safeguards and security flaws.
  • In July, CERT Polska, which operates within NASK, used OpenAI cyber models through Daybreak to uncover 6 MikroTik RouterOS vulnerabilities; the vendor patched them and CERT confirmed the observed attacks were blocked.
