OpenAI’s head of countries, George Osborne, said that it will voluntarily comply with President Trump’s new AI executive order.
The order, signed by Trump on Tuesday, requests (not orders) access to the latest AI models 30 days before their release. The order was originally drafted to require companies to submit their AI models 90 days before public release. But public pushback and Trump’s own publicly-admitted doubts made the change.
OpenAI will submit its next-gen AI models to participate in a benchmarking process to assess “advanced cyber capabilities of AI models and determine the threshold at which an AI model should be designated a ‘covered frontier model’”.
Speaking at SXSW in London, Osborne said that OpenAI has proactively suggested ways for governments to keep track of AI safety and security issues. Not only in the US, but more broadly.
