OpenAI supports standards to improve CyberTipline...

The digital frontier is a double-edged sword. For every moment of connection, there is a predator lurking in the shadows, exploiting the very tools that empower us. OpenAI knows this because we see the data.

The volume of exploitation material is staggering, and the burden on the exhausted teams at NCMEC and law enforcement is immense. That is why we are taking a stand for standards. Not just any standards, but rigorous, technical protocols that transform a flood of vague CyberTipline reports into actionable intelligence.

When reports are precise, investigators can act, not drown. But we don’t stop at better reporting. We must build a fence at the top of the cliff.

Safety-by-design, detection, refusal, human oversight, continuous monitoring, is the only way to interrupt exploitation before it happens. This is the commitment that underpins everything else: the push for AI literacy in every classroom, the free access to ChatGPT, the regional hubs that democratize opportunity. Because the same technology that can be weaponized to harm must be engineered to protect.
