OpenAI spokespersons said President Greg Brockman will announce expanded access to the company’s AI tools for critical infrastructure and public sector organizations. According to Sina Finance, Brockman will formally unveil the move on Thursday at a cybersecurity summit at OpenAI’s headquarters. About 300 corporate security leaders and chief information security officers from Fortune 100 companies are expected to attend. The summit will focus on how companies, governments, and cybersecurity vendors can help defenders, including critical infrastructure organizations and public service departments, use AI tools. OpenAI said the conference and the upcoming announcement are a response to model safety risks. The company cited the Hugging Face breach, as well as multiple suspected AI-enabled cyberattacks targeting U.S. water systems, and said its upcoming Astra model already has “critical-level” cyberattack capability. OpenAI last week issued an open letter warning organizations that they have only months to prepare for AI-powered cyberattacks. Brockman also issued a similar warning in an article last month. The company said improving awareness around critical infrastructure protection is only the first step and does not solve the funding shortages and talent gaps many of these organizations face.

According to CNBC, oil prices rose on Thursday after Iran continued striking U.S. Gulf allies, with Kuwait intercepting incoming missiles and drones. Brent crude futures climbed 57 cents to $96.20 per barrel after briefly topping $97 earlier in the session, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 85 cents to $91.86 per barrel. Kuwait's armed forces said the kingdom was facing ongoing Iranian aggression as air defenses engaged missiles and drones, according to the Kuwait Times. Oil prices have risen more than 7% this week as the U.S. and Iran exchanged military strikes for the first time since July. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said more than 17 million barrels of oil transited the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, a wartime record, under U.S. military protection. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he does not expect the current fighting to escalate back into war.

He added that the next generation of models will have a huge impact on everyone and said these models have already reached superhuman levels in many capabilities, with the industry navigating "completely uncharted waters."

According to the BBC, funerals were held for two Palestinian teenagers after local officials said they were killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers in an attack on the village of al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. The village council said Omar al-Nassan, 19, and Khalil Abu Alia, 16, were killed as they tried to stop settlers stealing sheep, while the Israeli military said its forces entered the village to provide security for an Israeli civilian and police retrieving livestock. The military said it fired on and struck what it called key instigators of a violent disturbance, during which Palestinians threw stones at its troops. The deaths came amid a recent rise in settler violence in the West Bank, with the UN recording more than three attacks per day on average so far this year. The UN said at least 81 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the West Bank since the start of the year, including at least 23 in the context of settler attacks, while three Israelis have been killed by Palestinians over the same period. On Thursday, Israel's police said a 19-year-old settler had been arrested on suspicion of taking part in an attack on the Palestinian village of Qusra on Saturday. In a separate development on Wednesday, Israeli forces demolished the Palestinian village of Khirbet al-Tabban in the Masafer Yatta area. B'Tselem said the village's 70 residents, including 28 children, were given no warning and were not allowed to remove their property, and said it was the 66th Palestinian community to be expelled by Israeli authorities since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023.
