Our approach to government and national security partnerships

Publisher preview

Governments are beginning to use frontier AI systems for increasingly important work, including in national security. That creates new imperatives for AI labs, governments, and civil society to work together on how these tools should be used in sensitive settings. We believe democratic societies should be able to use AI to protect people, defend critical infrastructure, deliver public services, and respond to emerging threats, including in areas like cyber defense and biological security where AI can meaningfully advantage defenders. But increasingly capable AI systems must be deployed in ways that…

Helping K–12 educators build practical AI skills

Publisher preview

Every day, K–12 teachers, administrators, district leaders, and school communities help students learn, grow, and prepare for the future. They are also being asked to navigate rapid technological change while managing limited time, growing responsibilities, and uneven access to practical support. That’s why OpenAI Academy, in partnership with the Walton Family Foundation⁠, will host a flagship AI Skills Jam for K–12 Educators this summer to offer a hands-on, high-trust environment where teachers and administrators can move from curiosity to practical use. Building on the success of the Nonprofit AI Jam⁠…

Introducing GPT-Live

Publisher preview

A new generation of voice models for natural human-AI interaction, now powering ChatGPT Voice. Update July 31, 2026: Supported audio generated with GPT‑Live through ChatGPT Voice and the OpenAI API now includes SynthID watermarking. Our public verification tool can now detect OpenAI provenance signals in supported audio files, and we’ve introduced API access for verification so developers and organizations can incorporate provenance checks into their own workflows. These updates build on the safety approach described below and our broader work to make OpenAI-generated content easier to identify. We’re launching GPT‑Live,…

MIT in the media: Innovating and educating for the next 250 years of America

Publisher preview

Without federal support for curiosity-driven research, the innovation and talent pipeline that has helped ensure our nation’s prosperity and safety could run dry, warned President Sally Kornbluth during a Washington Post Live event. During "The Next Generation," a panel discussion moderated by Washington Post reporter Zachary Goldfarb at The Washington Post’s “Building America Summit,” Kornbluth and Arizona State University (ASU) President Michael Crow joined forces for a spirited discussion on the importance of curiosity-driven research, examining how universities are preparing the next generation of scientists to lead in America’s rapidly…

Q&A: What is agentic AI today, and what do we want it to be?

Publisher preview

The deployment of automated software systems called AI agents has recently exploded. A November 2025 report by MIT Sloan School of Management and Boston Consulting Group found that 35 percent of surveyed businesses had already deployed AI agents, while another 44 percent planned to implement agentic AI soon. To understand the fundamentals and potential impacts of these increasingly popular tools, MIT News spoke with Phillip Isola, an associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory…

Core dump epidemiology: fixing an 18-year-old bug

Publisher preview

By Nathan Bronson, Member of Technical StaffOpenAI’s models and agents increasingly rely on scalable data infrastructure in order to search for relevant data at inference time: when the models are thinking about your question. Some of these services are written in C++, whose low-level control of the system lets us maximize performance and minimize memory usage. Those efficiency benefits are important as we scale, but C++’s lack of memory safety means that bugs can cause crashes by writing to incorrect or non-existent memory addresses. A few months ago we observed…
