OpenAI and Poland’s NASK collaborate on AI safety research

Oct 23 (Reuters) - OpenAI ‌said on ​Friday ​it would collaborate with Poland’s NASK National Research Institute on AI safety, ‌security and technical research, as rising incidents ⁠of rogue behaviour by AI agents put AI safety ‌in the spotlight.

• Through ‌the agreement, NASK’s AI Safety Research Center and OpenAI will explore ways to evaluate increasingly capable ​AI systems, identify potential vulnerabilities and strengthen safeguards

• OpenAI’s safety practices have been ⁠in the spotlight in recent months, after the company said ​a swarm of its AI agents escaped containment and hacked into the AI ​platform Hugging Face

• Concerns ‌over the technology have intensified after developers including Anthropic and OpenAI disclosed ⁠instances of rogue or undesired behaviour by AI agents. Some industry figures have warned the technology ⁠could pose an existential threat to humanity and have ​called for regulation to slow down AI development

• OpenAI said it has called for the US to work ‌with countries around the world on international technical standards for frontier ‌AI, the most advanced AI systems, drawing ⁠on the expertise of ‌AI safety institutes ​and standards bodies
