OpenAI publishes National Security Principles; expands Daybreak cyber access to 9 allied nations

OpenAI published its National Security Principles, a framework governing government and national security partnerships as frontier AI systems see increasing deployment in sensitive contexts. The principles reflect input from leading national security expert David Kris and cross-company listening sessions spanning research, safety, policy, and government partnerships. The document establishes guardrails for government use while affirming AI can strengthen cyber defense and biosecurity.

OpenAI reaffirmed existing contractual restrictions on its technology: no use for mass domestic surveillance, no use to direct autonomous weapons systems, and no automated high-stakes decisions. The company supports legislative efforts to establish additional safeguards around highest-risk military AI uses. These principles apply to current and future partnerships, including existing work with the Department of War announced earlier this year.

In parallel with the principles release, OpenAI expanded its Daybreak cyber defense program. The company established Trusted Access for Cyber partnerships with Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and EU institutions including ENISA. OpenAI also has an expanded trusted partnership with the UK government around cyber testing and evaluation, and is scaling access to its GPT-Rosalind model for select US and allied government partners supporting public health and biodefense missions.

For government and critical infrastructure operators, the principles signal OpenAI's intent to be transparent about capability-specific use cases and restrictions rather than blanket prohibitions. The framework delegates consequential policy decisions to democratic legislative processes rather than company-only determinations, positioning AI labs as advisors to government policy rather than autonomous gatekeepers. The geographic expansion of cyber partnerships reflects alignment among democratic nations on frontier AI governance and defensive capability access.
