An AI industry watchdog is accusing OpenAI of violating California’s AI safety law multiple times in the past year, including with the release of its latest model, Astra.
A new analysis from the Midas Project—a nonprofit that describes itself as a watchdog “working to ensure that AI benefits everybody, not just the companies developing it”—alleges that OpenAI has broken California’s newly-enacted AI safety law at least three times this year.
The allegations concern OpenAI’s failure to publish a required risk assessment for the very danger the company has lately been sounding alarms about: AI systems slipping out of human control.
