Frontier AI regulation: Managing emerging risks to public safety
Insights from global conversations
We are sharing what we learned from our conversations across 22 countries, and how we will be incorporating those insights moving forward.
Governance of superintelligence
Now is a good time to start thinking about the governance of superintelligence—future AI systems dramatically more capable than even AGI.
Our approach to AI safety
Ensuring that AI systems are built, deployed, and used safely is critical to our mission.
March 20 ChatGPT outage: Here’s what happened
An update on our findings, the actions we’ve taken, and technical details of the bug.
Planning for AGI and beyond
Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity.
How should AI systems behave, and who should decide?
We’re clarifying how ChatGPT’s behavior is shaped and our plans for improving that behavior, allowing more user customization, and getting more public input into our decision-making in these areas.
Discovering the minutiae of backend systems
Christian Gibson is an engineer on the Supercomputing team at OpenAI.
Evolution through large models
Measuring Goodhart’s law
Goodhart’s law famously says: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” Although originally from economics, it’s something we have to grapple with at OpenAI when figuring out how to optimize objectives that are difficult or costly to measure.

Learning Day
At OpenAI, each Thursday is Learning Day: a day where employees have the option to self-study technical skills that will make them better at their job but which aren’t being learned from daily work.
Why responsible AI development needs cooperation on safety
We’ve written a policy research paper identifying four strategies that can be used today to improve the likelihood of long-term industry cooperation on safety norms in AI: communicating risks and benefits, technical collaboration, increased transparency, and incentivizing standards. Our analysis shows that industry cooperation on safety will be instrumental in ensuring that AI systems are safe and beneficial, but competitive pressures could lead to a collective action problem, potentially causing AI companies to under-invest in safety. We hope these strategies will encourage greater cooperation on the safe development of AI and lead to better global outcomes of AI.
