OpenAI proposes global AI standards for alignment and safe self-improvement

cnbc.com

OpenAI proposed international standards for frontier AI development on Monday, focusing on alignment research and recursive self-improvement to ensure systems remain under human control. The company urged global cooperation, building on existing AI safety institutes, with technical standards targeting frontier models and automated AI researchers. OpenAI acknowledged fully autonomous RSI is not happening today and should not be pursued until proven safe. The proposal follows rival Anthropic's own safety framework last week, amid ongoing industry debate sparked by former employee Jacob Coxon's resignation and warning that AI companies were "gambling with our lives."
