TLDR
Altman welcomes a federal framework with consistent safety requirements for frontier AI, but says companies can act without waiting for legislation or an antitrust exemption. He argues that safety work must address model development, not just deployment, and says OpenAI now prepares safety cases before reinforcement learning runs it expects to significantly increase capabilities. He also advocates shared safety and monitoring standards across labs and expresses interest in independent auditors.
