OpenAI Strengthens Commitment to Responsible AI in Europe Amid New Regulations

OpenAI announced steps to align its safety, security, and governance practices with Europe's new AI regulatory framework. The company noted that millions of European users rely on its tools daily for learning, creation, work, and everyday tasks across businesses and government sectors. OpenAI endorsed two European Codes of Practice addressing general-purpose AI and transparency of AI-generated content. The company grounds this commitment in internal governance frameworks, including the Preparedness Framework (updated in 2025) and the Frontier Governance Framework, which establish how the company identifies and manages risks from advanced AI systems. On content provenance, OpenAI employs Content Credentials and SynthID watermarks to provide context about AI-generated material. The company plans to expand these measures to audio and text outputs as standards and tools mature. On cybersecurity, OpenAI launched the EU Cyber Action Plan in May 2026, partnering with EU cybersecurity agencies, private sector organizations, and critical infrastructure operators. This initiative provides advanced AI models to strengthen European cybersecurity resilience. OpenAI commits to maintaining continuous compliance with the EU AI Act and ongoing collaboration with regulators as technology advances, while keeping sufficient flexibility to support innovation.
