According to what was published, OpenAI says it is working alongside its main competitors, Anthropic and Google DeepMind, on joint steps to address artificial intelligence safety issues. The article frames this as an escalation of industry efforts to respond to growing concern that the technology poses both an economic and a security threat.

Chris Lehane, OpenAI's global head of policy, said on Tuesday that his company's outreach to Anthropic and Google had been under way for several weeks. Lehane added that OpenAI does not consider an antitrust waiver necessary for the three firms to coordinate on safety, arguing that "it's better to try to work together to prioritize safety". The available excerpt cuts off there, so no further concrete details are known about which safety measures are being discussed or how that collaboration will be implemented.
