OpenAI unveils framework for disclosing model misalignment, publishes six incident reports
OpenAI · x · 2026-09-17
OpenAI has published a new framework for tracking, investigating, and publicly disclosing instances of model misalignment.
Key points:
- The framework sets criteria and timelines for public disclosure, even when behaviors aren't fully explained or mitigated; complex cases may require longer investigation or third-party coordination.
- Priorities: cases revealing new misalignment mechanisms, meaningful changes in known behavior, or findings challenging safety assumptions.
- Alongside the framework, OpenAI released six reports on misaligned behaviors observed during training or evaluation over the past six months.
- The company calls it a starting point and will refine the process through experience and public feedback.
