The U.S.-based company that created ChatGPT\u00a0plans to soon provide its latest artificial intelligence model–with enhanced cybersecurity capabilities and performance comparable to Claude Mythos–to some Japanese companies.
\nJason Kwon, chief strategy officer of the major AI development firm OpenAI, revealed the plan in an interview with The Asahi Shimbun in Tokyo.
\nAnthropic, a U.S. startup, unveiled its new Claude Mythos model last month, which is known for its exceptionally advanced capability to identify and exploit system vulnerabilities.
\nSince then, there has been growing global concern over guarding against potential misuse of such advanced AI technologies.
\nOpenAI\u2019s latest model is said to offer performance comparable to Mythos, and Japanese companies receiving it could potentially expand their range of defensive cybersecurity capabilities.\u00a0
\nKwon said his company intends to provide \u201cGPT\u20115.5\u2011Cyber,\u201d a model specialized in cyberdefense, which OpenAI announced earlier this month, in response to Mythos.
\nGPT-5.5-Cyber has already been provided to government agencies and some companies in the United States.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re trying to broaden access to Japan and other allies,\u201d he said.
\nLast month, the British government\u2019s AI Security Institute (AISI) found that GPT-5.5 had reached a performance level comparable to Mythos.
\nIn a report released this month, AISI said that both models successfully cleared all tasks in simulated cyberattack trials.\u00a0
\nKwon said that Mythos \u201cdrew a lot of attention\u201d from the media.
\nHowever, he added, \u201cThe progress of cyber capabilities actually has been continuous and there was not a single moment when things became very different,\u201d expressing skepticism toward the belief that Mythos alone represented a sudden leap in performance.
\nAVOIDING LOSS OF CONTROL
\nKwon also mentioned the roles of U.S. and Chinese companies leading AI development.
\nIn 2023, then U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to launch intergovernmental dialogue regarding AI development.
\nThis month, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent under the Trump administration also announced plans to begin discussions between the two nations on AI safety.
\nAccording to Kwon, in addition to government-level talks, companies and researchers from both countries continue discussions at the private-sector level.
\n\u201cThe United States and its allies are going to be in an intense competition with China and its allies for the foreseeable future,\u201d Kwon said. \u201cBut it could still be done in a way where there\u2019s still some mutual interest in making sure things don\u2019t get out of hand.\u201d
\nWORKING TOGETHER ON CYBERSECURITY
\nIn 2024, OpenAI and Anthropic agreed with the U.S. government\u2019s AISI to implement a framework for evaluating the safety of advanced AI models before their release.
\nThis month, AISI\u2019s successor organization reached similar agreements with Google LLC, Microsoft Corp. and xAI Corp.
\nA key challenge remains for how governments can govern powerful AI technologies, driven by private companies, which are increasingly difficult to control.
\nKwon said OpenAI\u2019s principle is to inform the government so that it can anticipate what will come next.
\nHe added that \u201ccybersecurity is a team sport,\u201d and requires governments and all private-sector actors to work together.
\nKwon also said that another OpenAI executive held discussions with Japanese government officials covering 15 critical infrastructure sectors, including finance and electricity, this week.
\nHe added that the manufacturing sector could also\u00a0be granted\u00a0access.<\/p>\n
