OpenAI has published a new framework for tracking, investigating, and publicly disclosing model misalignment incidents.
- The framework sets criteria and timelines for public disclosure, including cases where the behavior hasn't yet been fully explained or mitigated; complex cases may take longer or involve third-party coordination.
- Disclosure priority goes to examples revealing new misalignment mechanisms, meaningful changes in known behavior, or findings that challenge safety assumptions.
- Alongside the framework, OpenAI released six reports on misaligned behavior observed during training or evaluation of its models over the past six months.
