Sam Altman proposes US-led AI safety standards to prevent power concentration
sama · x · 2026-09-22
Sam Altman has published OpenAI's proposal for AI standards governance. Key points:
- People outside AI labs should have a real say in how the technology develops, with a clear way to judge whether it's happening safely.
- Standards should help prevent the concentration of power, including by ensuring new companies and open-model companies can still compete.
- Standards should also help countries and companies compare evidence and learn from failures.
- OpenAI argues the US should lead this effort, linking to the full proposal.
