Sam Altman Calls for Outside Input and Shared Safety Standards for Frontier AI

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called for meaningful outside participation in frontier AI development and for shared, measurable safety standards backed by independent evaluators and audits. He argued standards should limit power concentration among a few labs without halting progress or creating antitrust exemptions. Specific measures, thresholds and qualifying systems remain unresolved.
