Summary

On May 11, 2026, OpenAI offered the European Commission open access to its cybersecurity tools, while its competitor Anthropic has not made a similar proposal. The Commission has held several meetings with Anthropic but has not discussed access to its AI models. OpenAI's initiative, led by George Osborne, aims to collaborate with European policymakers to enhance cybersecurity. This offer follows the Commission's classification of OpenAI's ChatGPT under the Digital Services Act, necessitating regulation. The proactive approach by OpenAI contrasts with Anthropic's lack of engagement on this front. Key Points: • OpenAI has offered the EU access to its cybersecurity tools, unlike Anthropic. • The European Commission has had multiple meetings with Anthropic without discussing AI model access. • George Osborne leads OpenAI's initiative to strengthen cybersecurity collaboration with EU.
