History

Historical Context

In February 2019 OpenAI announced GPT-2, a 1.5-billion-parameter model, and initially withheld its full release over misuse concerns, prompting early AI-risk debates and calls for standards. The same year OpenAI reorganized as a for-profit. F5 Networks now offers an AI Security Platform that embeds continuous visibility and shadow-AI detection, reflecting those original safeguards.
