OpenAI’s primary objective is to empower security teams by prioritizing access to advanced AI capabilities. They are also committed to measuring the cybersecurity potential of AI models, aiming to create methods that accurately assess and enhance their efficacy.
In addition, OpenAI wants to elevate the discourse surrounding AI and cybersecurity. They want to foster in-depth and meticulous discussions that facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities within this field.
As OpenAI’s blog post explains, “A traditional view in cybersecurity is that the landscape naturally advantages attackers over defenders. This is summed up in the well-worn axiom: ‘Defense must be correct 100% of the time, attackers only have to be right once.’ While it may be true that attackers face fewer constraints and take advantage of their flexibility, defenders have something more valuable – coordination towards a common goal of keeping people safe.”
OpenAI believes that by empowering security teams with advanced AI capabilities and by fostering coordination among security professionals, they can help to shift the balance of power in cybersecurity and make the world a safer place.
