OpenAI is pushing Washington to spearhead international AI safety standards, specifically targeting autonomous development risks and incident reporting, while contrasting its cooperative approach with Trump’s recent rejection of such safety concerns and Anthropic’s call for embedded third-party evaluators.

  • According to PYMNTS.com, OpenAI is now explicitly calling for US-led global technical standards on recursive self-improvement and common incident reporting protocols, drawing parallels to aviation safety frameworks. The company also highlighted the potential for US-China dialogue on these standards, a proposal coming shortly after Anthropic’s CEO urged for independent safety evaluators within AI firms.

  • OpenAI wants Washington to coordinate international AI incident reporting, noting that Europe already has a functioning legal framework for such measures.
