OpenAI backs measure that would require independent audits of AI models

OpenAI backs measure that would require independent audits of AI models

Summary

OpenAI supports parts of a new U.S. bill called the FRONTIER Act that would require big AI companies to have their AI systems checked by independent auditors. These auditors would make sure the AI systems are safe enough to prevent serious problems, and AI companies would also have to share reports about their models and any safety issues.

Key Facts

  • The FRONTIER Act is a bipartisan bill in the U.S. Congress focused on regulating AI technologies.
  • It would require large AI developers to submit their models to independent third-party safety audits.
  • The bill demands companies publish reports about their AI models and disclose any safety incidents.
  • OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer, Chris Lehane, expressed support for these auditing parts of the bill.
  • OpenAI has supported some AI regulations before but this is the first time backing a federal law needing third-party assessments.
  • The bill aims to limit "acceptable levels of catastrophic risk" from advanced AI systems.
  • AI experts warn advanced AI could cause harm, which calls for government rules.
  • Some researchers say AI companies alone won’t protect against risks without government help.
