OpenAI has urged the United States to spearhead the creation of global safety and security standards for frontier artificial-intelligence systems, ahead of Sam Altman’s upcoming United Nations address. The organization stresses that fully autonomous research-intelligence systems are not yet feasible and should only be pursued when they can be implemented safely. OpenAI’s mission statement emphasizes ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.
