OpenAI announced Daybreak on May 11, 2026: a program, promoted by Sam Altman (@sama), to accelerate cyber defense and deliver continuous security for software. Altman emphasized that AI's cybersecurity capabilities are rapidly improving—calling them 'already good and about to get super good'—and urged broad, immediate collaboration with companies to deploy AI-driven defenses.
OpenAI is launching Daybreak, our effort to accelerate cyber defense and continuously secure software.
AI is already good and about to get super good at cybersecurity; we'd like to start working with as many companies as possible now to help them continuously secure themselves.
