OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar warned businesses about cybersecurity risks associated with Chinese AI models at the International AI Summit in Dublin on October 14, 2026. She urged companies to favor Western models over cheaper Chinese alternatives, emphasizing the dual-use nature of open-source Chinese models. Concerns were also raised about security vulnerabilities on platforms like Hugging Face, where Chinese AI models account for a significant share of downloads. Meanwhile, OpenAI decided not to release a next-generation internal model despite its remarkable mathematical capabilities, including solving Navier-Stokes equations and producing 350 math proofs in one week. Friar identified cybersecurity as a major growth driver for OpenAI’s business, which maintains a near-even revenue split between its consumer and enterprise segments.
