According to CoinMeta, the White House hopes that AI companies can self-regulate, but recent actions by OpenAI have raised concerns about this strategy. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, stated on September 12th that giving independent assessors “employee-level access” is “a good idea.” However, not long after signing a White House agreement regarding superintelligence, OpenAI fired three security researchers who had collaborated with these independent assessors. OpenAI promised to share information with the assessors but later fired employees for allegedly sharing such information. This incident has sparked doubts about OpenAI’s ability to self-regulate, especially given its history of multiple security incidents. The industry is calling on Congress to conduct an independent assessment and audit of the AI sector to ensure public safety.
