The move is part of OpenAI's broader effort to deploy its technology in sensitive sectors.

Participants explored potential applications in network monitoring, threat intelligence, and incident response. Specific details of the workshop's outcomes were not disclosed.

OpenAI has previously advocated for responsible AI deployment, and this initiative aligns with its stated goal of ensuring broad benefit from AI technology.
