Altman says OpenAI must decide on a safety endgame path within a year
According to The Information, Sam Altman told OpenAI employees that the company must decide within the next year which of three safety endgame paths to pursue. The path he favors is establishing an international agency modeled on the International Atomic Energy Agency, an idea that dates back to a proposal he put forward jointly with Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever in May 2023: such an agency could inspect systems, require audits, and track compute and energy use.
