OpenAI and NASK, a Polish research institute, said they will explore working together on AI safety. The page is dated Friday, Oct. 23. The AI desk's read of the feed puts it at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, from midnight GMT.
The text says the two sides will explore collaboration. It does not list a dollar amount or a product they must deliver.
Radosław Nielek is quoted: AI safety cannot be achieved in isolation.
Why it matters (Estimate). The agreement is a plan to explore work, not a contract with a price. Polish researchers are the named partners, and the open questions are listed with the story. (Estimate.)
OpenAI's account of the page also refers to a July item with CERT Polska about six vulnerabilities in MikroTik RouterOS. That history is OpenAI's telling.
