An update on OpenAI's safety and security practices

An update on our safety & security practices

OpenAI said on September 16, 2024 that its Safety and Security Committee will become an independent board oversight committee, chaired by Zico Kolter, for critical safeguards in model development and deployment. The committee can review major model safety evaluations and delay launches until concerns are addressed; the post also cites a 90-day review, evaluation of an AI-sector ISAC, and work with Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass. OpenAI says an independent board committee can review major safety evaluations and delay release, which is more concrete than a generic safety post. It stays below P1 because there is no new model, external audit result, or reproducible benchmark data.
