OpenAI published a blog post discussing how to pace model development as AI models acquire cyber-critical capabilities. The article notes that advanced AI models lower the barrier to cyberattacks but also enhance defensive capabilities. OpenAI is building 'intelligence architectures' and evaluating cyber operations capabilities through red teaming. The goal is to ensure model capabilities scale in step with safety measures, collaborating with governments and the security community to minimize risks while maximizing defensive benefits.
