OpenAI has released international AI safety standards as world leaders consider how to mitigate risks associated with the technology. The company is urging the US to lead an effort to develop global safety and security standards for building frontier systems. This comes ahead of Sam Altman's address at the United Nations Security Council.

According to Axios, OpenAI recommends leveraging AI safety institutes worldwide to facilitate standard-setting through the US Center for AI Security and Innovation. The company also suggests shared global measurements for classifying incidents, tracking, reporting, and responding to alignment issues. The goal is to establish international standards for incidents that occur before deployment in test settings and those that happen in the real world.

The US and China are weighing how to mitigate AI risks, with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng discussing a US-China AI dialogue over the weekend. The dialogue aims to notify the other country when AI incidents reach national security risk levels.
