Critics call for NTSB-style agency after OpenAI incident review controversy
aiamblichus · x · 2026-08-27
Following reports that OpenAI limited METR's review of an incident to just six days, critics highlighted a deeper conflict of interest: investigators are incentivized not to antagonize the lab. The argument calls for an independent regulatory body modeled after the NTSB with proper authority, rather than relying on non-profits whose relevance depends on the major labs' cooperation.
