[OpenAI to Allow External Organizations to Evaluate AI Models at Earlier Stages] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on September 23, OpenAI plans to allow third-party organizations to review the safety risks of its AI models during the early stages of the development cycle. This move is part of its ongoing efforts to address growing public concerns about the potential dangers of the technology. The company announced in a blog post on Tuesday that it will permit external organizations to conduct technical safety assessments of its models during the training, evaluation, and deployment phases of new AI models. OpenAI also outlined key priorities to ensure the effectiveness of such reviews, including establishing "robust independence mechanisms, scientific rigor, sound safety measures, and clear accountability." Lama Ahmad, who oversees the company's collaboration with external experts on safety reviews, stated that OpenAI has typically invited such groups to conduct safety evaluations and assess their capabilities before model releases. "As risks continue to grow, we need to focus not only on deployment issues but also on high-risk stages like training and evaluation," she said.
