OpenAI is launching a $1M Cybersecurity Grant Program to develop AI-powered defense capabilities, quantify the effectiveness of AI models in cybersecurity, and foster discussions at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. The program aims to benefit defenders by leveraging coordination toward a common goal of security. Project ideas include automating incident triage, detecting social engineering tactics, and streamlining patch management processes. OpenAI will accept applications for funding or other support on a rolling basis, but will not consider offensive security projects.
