OpenAI urges U.S. to lead global AI safety standard development
OpenAI has called for the United States to lead the development of global technical standards for advanced artificial intelligence. The company proposed utilizing the network of AI Safety Institutes in ten countries—including South Korea, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Kenya, Japan, Singapore, India, and the UK—to establish these benchmarks.
OpenAI cited the risks of recursive self-improvement (RSI) as a primary driver for these standards, noting that if AI begins to autonomously develop next-generation models without human oversight, control could be lost. The company emphasized that these standards should focus on metrics for evaluating AI capabilities and reporting incident severity, rather than acting as a mandatory government licensing or pre-release approval system.
In parallel, the White House has signaled its readiness to manage AI risks, with official statements noting that the government possesses various tools to respond to security issues. This includes past actions, such as issuing a warning letter to Anthropic regarding its Mitos5 model due to potential cyberattack risks. Amidst these developments, the U.S. and China are engaging in dialogue to avoid common AI risks, with high-level discussions occurring between U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York.
