OpenAI Backs Measure that Would Require Independent Audits of AI Models
OpenAI says third-party audits could help ensure model safety as Congress weighs the first federal AI safety framework.
- On Tuesday, OpenAI Chief Global Affairs Officer Chris Lehane announced support for a key provision of the bipartisan FRONTIER Act, which would require top AI labs to submit large language models to independent audits.
- Reps. Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan sponsored the FRONTIER Act to create the first federal framework for AI safety, requiring developers to publish model reports and disclose safety incidents.
- Legislation would force labs to allow "independent verification organizations," or IVOs, into their companies. Lehane met with sponsors on Capitol Hill Monday, though the company has not endorsed the bill in its entirety.
- Joseph Miller, founder of PauseAI, argues government intervention is necessary, stating, "We need government to lead on it, because they probably aren't going to do it without the government stepping in."
- OpenAI is now advocating for Congress to enact mandatory national safety requirements and industry standards, as Lehane emphasized that advanced AI can "accelerate the development of new medicines" while capabilities bring risks.
