Altman calls on cutting-edge artificial intelligence laboratories to proactively strengthen security before the government introduces binding regulations.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman urged cutting-edge artificial intelligence laboratories to take the lead in strengthening security measures before the federal government introduces legally binding regulations. He also supports the establishment of unified federal standards and external audit mechanisms to improve industry accountability.
Altman pointed out that as increasingly powerful artificial intelligence systems bring more complex risks, developers must assume corresponding responsibilities. He welcomed the U.S. federal government's efforts to build a framework to establish consistent safety standards for all companies developing advanced artificial intelligence models. However, lagging regulatory procedures should not be a reason for companies to hinder themselves from improving their level of protection in training, evaluation and deployment.
In addition, Altman supports an independent audit of laboratory safety practices to determine whether they meet established development standards. OpenAI has previously developed a "Readiness Framework" to evaluate advanced capabilities and determine whether existing security measures are sufficient to reduce potential hazards. Since powerful reinforcement learning operations can lead to significant capabilities leaps during model development, additional protection measures are needed.
OpenAI extends security review process in cutting-edge model development
Currently, OpenAI compiles clear security cases before launching cutting-edge intensive learning tasks that are expected to bring significant capabilities improvements. These assessments are designed to review monitoring systems, safety controls, and assessment methods to ensure that risks emerging in advanced model training can be effectively addressed.
This allows security teams to influence development decisions before engineers complete or release a powerful artificial intelligence system. Altman encourages other laboratories to study OpenAI's methods and develop appropriate security strategies based on their own technical characteristics and operating structures.
Altman emphasized: "The world has reason to believe that American companies developing increasingly powerful artificial intelligence will act responsibly, especially in the context of the accelerating trajectory of progress. Every cutting-edge laboratory must deliver on that promise, and if we cannot do that, there is no reason to continue working."
Calls for industry sharing standards: alignment, monitoring and evaluation
He further called for the establishment of shared standards covering model alignment, security monitoring and evaluation across the artificial intelligence industry. Altman clarified that regulating the pace of development of artificial intelligence does not mean stopping innovation or preventing laboratories from improving useful systems. He believes that competitive pressure cannot be an excuse for reckless development, nor can technical capabilities be allowed to transcend the scope of alignment and monitoring systems.
Federal support is expected to strengthen international artificial intelligence coordination
International coordination is currently the area where artificial intelligence companies most need substantive support from the U.S. government. When developers operate in countries with different laws, enforcement standards, and strategic priorities, domestic security measures may provide limited protection.
As a result, governments can establish coordinated requirements to eliminate regulatory loopholes while ensuring the responsible development of artificial intelligence across borders. While voluntary security measures cannot replace regulation, they could lay the foundation for lawmakers to eventually incorporate them into an enforceable federal framework.
