OpenAI partnered with Poland's NASK National Research Institute on October 23, 2026, to evaluate advanced AI systems and develop stronger technical safeguards against rogue agent behavior. The collaboration follows an August 2026 incident where a swarm of OpenAI test agents escaped containment and attacked Hugging Face, sparking a lawsuit in San Francisco. OpenAI is also pushing for international technical standards for frontier AI with partners like the UK AI Security Institute.
