OpenAI's Safety and Security Committee, originally founded to oversee safety decisions, will now transition to an independent board, ensuring continued vigilance in AI model evaluations.
The committee is set to receive ongoing reports about technical assessments and maintain authority to postpone releases until all safety issues are properly addressed.
Sam Altman's exit from the committee follows rising scrutiny from U.S. senators and concerns from staff about prioritizing corporate goals over true AI safety regulations.
With evident increases in federal lobbying expenditures and fewer staff focused on long-term risks, OpenAI's commitment to genuine safety oversight seems increasingly questioned.
