OpenAI calls for international standards on AI that could improve itself

OpenAI urges US-led international standards for recursive self-improving AI, including oversight, measurement, and incident reporting.

OpenAI is calling for international technical standards governing advanced AI that could recursively improve itself. The company says fully autonomous recursive self-improvement is not happening today and should be pursued only when it can be done safely, warning that weak safeguards could make systems less aligned and more dangerous. It wants the United States to lead shared measurement methods, incident reporting, and human-oversight rules, building on national AI safety institutes, CAISI, and ISO. A recent UN scientific panel raised similar loss-of-control concerns and proposed cooperation modeled on aviation, nuclear energy, and cybersecurity.

The AI Kill Switch Act is repeating the Clipper Chip’s mistakes

Op-ed argues the AI Kill Switch Act repeats the Clipper Chip's mistake by mandating backdoors into frontier AI systems.

The op-ed criticizes the AI Kill Switch Act, sponsored by Reps. Ted Lieu and Nathaniel Moran, which would let CISA require frontier AI labs to build the ability to throttle, suspend, or shut down their systems. The author compares this to the 1993 Clipper Chip, whose Law Enforcement Access Field was found flawed in 1994, and argues mandated kill switches would create deliberate weaknesses in AI agents embedded in banking, power grids and other critical infrastructure. It also flags the bill's exemption of red-teaming incidents and CAISI's incomplete agent security standards, recommending mandatory red-teaming and liability frameworks instead.
