The United Kingdom government and OpenAI have signed a new strategic partnership to accelerate the safe and transparent development of artificial intelligence. The agreement aims to support AI safety research, share insights on frontier model behavior, and strengthen international collaboration on AI governance.
The announcement was made by UK Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan and OpenAI’s Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon. As part of the deal, OpenAI will provide the UK’s AI Safety Institute with access to its latest AI models and research, including GPT-4.
“This partnership puts the UK at the forefront of AI safety and innovation,” said Donelan. “Together with OpenAI, we are ensuring that the benefits of advanced AI are realized responsibly and transparently.”
Jason Kwon added, “We believe international collaboration is essential to understanding and mitigating risks associated with advanced AI. Partnering with the UK’s AI Safety Institute is a meaningful step in that direction.”
The UK has been positioning itself as a global hub for AI governance. The AI Safety Institute, launched in 2023, plays a key role in testing AI models for safety, alignment, and misuse prevention. The partnership with OpenAI enhances this effort by giving researchers early access to cutting-edge AI systems and technical documentation.
The deal also aligns with broader international efforts—such as the AI Safety Summit and G7 code of conduct—to promote responsible AI innovation. It marks another significant move toward building a globally coordinated framework for AI safety and ethical deployment.
