CAISI Works with OpenAI and Anthropic to Promote Secure AI Innovation
US-UK joint AI security evaluations of frontier models set a practical benchmark—Australian agencies and AISI should note what this partnership is producing.
Key points
- CAISI worked with OpenAI and Anthropic to identify security vulnerabilities and improve AI security measurement.
- Evaluations were completed in partnership with the UK AI Security Institute, signalling ongoing Five Eyes-adjacent AI safety cooperation.
- Australia's AISI is not mentioned; this bilateral US-UK arrangement may inform where Australia sits in frontier AI security collaboration.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Australia's AISI and DISR policy teams may want to monitor what security findings and best practices emerge from CAISI-UK AISI evaluations, given their likely influence on international AI security standards.
- Consider Agencies could consider whether Australia's bilateral AI safety arrangements with the US and UK align with, or risk lagging behind, the depth of US-UK joint evaluation work now underway.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

NIST's Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI), operating under America's AI Action Plan, has worked with OpenAI and Anthropic to identify security issues in advanced AI systems and improve AI security measurement. Both companies have published blog posts describing concrete security improvements resulting from CAISI's research and evaluations. Notably, these evaluations were conducted in partnership with the UK AI Security Institute, deepening the US-UK bilateral AI safety relationship. CAISI and the UK AISI are also working toward shared best practices in metrology, standards development, and capability measurement for advanced AI models.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Australia's AISI and DISR policy teams may want to monitor what security findings and best practices emerge from CAISI-UK AISI evaluations, given their likely influence on international AI security standards.
- [Consider] Agencies could consider whether Australia's bilateral AI safety arrangements with the US and UK align with, or risk lagging behind, the depth of US-UK joint evaluation work now underway.
