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.

OpenAI wants international standards for recursive self-improvement, where AI systems independently build the next generation of AI. Without safeguards, humans could lose control over this process. OpenAI says the US should take the lead on global measurement standards and oversight rules.
