Bipartisan FRONTIER Act Aims to Stop AI Labs From Grading Their Own Safety Homework
ghadfield · x · 2026-08-11
Following recent AI agent hacking incidents at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, a Fortune commentary argues that AI labs shouldn't be allowed to grade their own safety homework. Currently, the public only learns about these failures because companies voluntarily disclose them, with no independent institution to discover or mandate reporting.
Drawing parallels to the aviation and pharmaceutical industries' mandatory reporting, the authors highlight the bipartisan FRONTIER Act proposed in Congress. The legislation aims to build an ecosystem of independent verifiers to ensure AI safety incidents can no longer be kept secret.
