# OpenAI Launches Open Call for Red Teaming Network to Improve AI Safety

OpenAI announced it is opening applications for its Red Teaming Network, inviting domain experts from around the world to help identify vulnerabilities and improve the safety of its AI models.

Red teaming involves deliberately testing systems to find weaknesses before bad actors can exploit them. By expanding this network beyond internal teams, OpenAI is taking a more collaborative approach to AI safety.

The initiative seeks experts across various fields who can stress-test OpenAI's models from different angles—whether that's cybersecurity, misinformation, bias detection, or other specialized domains. These external perspectives are crucial for uncovering blind spots that internal teams might miss.

This move comes as AI companies face mounting pressure to demonstrate robust safety measures. As models like GPT-4 become more powerful and widely deployed, the potential risks—from generating harmful content to being manipulated for
