Summary
OpenAI is providing its Daybreak AI cyber defense system for free to Ukraine to help protect civilian infrastructure like hospitals and power plants from cyber-attacks, which Ukraine experienced nearly 6,000 of in 2025. Daybreak can quickly identify weaknesses in digital systems and help develop fixes by using OpenAI's advanced GPT 5.6 Sol model. However, experts note that the same AI abilities useful for defending against attacks can also be used by attackers to find vulnerabilities.
