What Has OpenAI Done to Upgrade Its Security System?
OpenAI has implemented a series of strict security measures to protect intellectual property rights, especially from espionage risks from foreign countries, particularly China.
Starting in 2023, after the DeepSeek incident in January, OpenAI adopted an "information tenting" access control mechanism, limiting employee access to top-tier projects. Key technology laboratories are completely isolated offline to prevent remote cyber attacks.
Our security upgrade helps us protect billion-dollar technology from industrial theft and maintain our AI industry leadership.
