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

- 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.
