OpenAI will let outside groups vet its AI models for safety risks earlier in development. The reviews will cover training, evaluation and rollout stages. OpenAI will announce the plan in a blog post. It lists priorities for effective reviews. These include strong independence mechanisms. Scientific rigor is also required. Robust security practices are another priority. Clear responsibilities must be defined.
What changed
Third-party safety reviews happened after models were already trained and deployed.
What it unlocks
Conducting technical safety assessments during model training and evaluation phases.
