OpenAI has said it will comply with Donald Trump’s executive order requiring AI companies to give the U.S federal government access to assess their models’ capabilities before public release.
The company’s head of countries, George Osborne, said that OpenAI will participate in the voluntary framework, according to CNBC.
“It’s quite right that democratic governments have a big role to play in how this technology is used and deployed,” he said.
Osborne said the company takes its responsibilities “very seriously,” adding that, as a leading frontier AI lab developing highly powerful models, “we don’t wait to be asked.”
” We proactively suggested ways that governments can keep a track on safety and security issues, not just in the U.S., but more broadly,” he added.
The order, signed by Trump on Tuesday, requires companies to provide access to AI models 30 days before release.
It also calls for participation in a benchmarking process to evaluate the “advanced cyber capabilities” of AI systems and to determine when a model should be classified as a “covered frontier model.”
