OpenAI opens cybersecurity tools to the European Union, Anthropic has not yet followed up

Investing.com – On Monday, the European Commission stated that OpenAI has proactively offered the European Union access to its cybersecurity features, while competitor Anthropic has not yet proposed a similar plan.

European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said at a press conference that the commission has received a proposal from OpenAI and has held four to five meetings with Anthropic, but the two sides have not yet engaged in substantive discussions regarding access to their AI models.

Regnier pointed out that OpenAI is the one proactively proposing open access, and the communication with Anthropic remains at an initial stage, with no discussions about potential access arrangements.

Former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne is currently leading OpenAI’s “OpenAI for Countries” initiative. He has written to the European Commission and member states, detailing the proposal.

According to a statement released by OpenAI on Monday, Osborne stated in the letter that the “OpenAI EU Cybersecurity Action Plan” will collaborate with European policymakers, institutions, and businesses to provide trusted parties with access to defensive tools, aiming to strengthen collective security and safeguard public safety.

This proposal comes just over a month after the European Commission announced that it would include OpenAI’s ChatGPT under the framework of the Digital Services Act and subject it to corresponding regulation.
