OpenAI Says It Is Coordinating With Anthropic and Google DeepMind on AI Safety

OpenAI says it is working with Anthropic PBC and Google DeepMind on AI safety steps, moving direct coordination among rival frontier-model labs into the open as concern rises over economic disruption, cybersecurity failures and loss-of-control scenarios. At a Washington briefing, Chris Lehane, OpenAI's chief global affairs officer, said the engagement with Anthropic and Google had been under way for several weeks and that OpenAI does not believe the companies need an antitrust waiver to coordinate on safety matters. Anthropic and Google DeepMind did not immediately comment on Lehane's account.
