What Is The Significance Of OpenAI Safety & Security Committee?

The company has seen a number of key departures in recent weeks, with several employees complaining that it has not been devoting promised resources to ensuring the long-term safety of its AI work.

To resolve this, OpenAI has established a new safety and security committee. A first task of the Safety and Security Committee will be to evaluate and further develop OpenAI’s processes and safeguards over the next 90 days. At the conclusion of the 90 days, the Safety and Security Committee will share their recommendations with the full board. Following the full board’s review, OpenAI will publicly share an update on adopted recommendations in a manner that is consistent with safety and security.

According to D.A. Davidson managing director Gil Luria, “A new safety committee signifies OpenAI completing a move to becoming a commercial entity, from a more undefined non-profit-like entity.”

The official blog also states that OpenAI will retain and consult with other safety, security, and technical experts to support this work, including former cybersecurity officials, Rob Joyce, who advises OpenAI on security, and John Carlin.
