Relying on OpenAI's 'Goodwill' for Safety Investigations Criticized
sjgadler · x · 2026-08-27
DKokotajlo comments on the dynamic between AI safety evaluators (like METR and Redwood) and OpenAI. He notes that evaluators may try to keep OpenAI happy to ensure continued access for future investigations. He argues this situation is terrible for humanity and that OpenAI should be legally required to open up to independent teams, rather than investigations depending on the company's goodwill. He clarifies his respect for METR and Redwood despite the systemic issue.
