OpenAI’s new priorities for third-party assessments are a fine start, but they lack teeth

OpenAI published a detailed list of priorities and principles on Tuesday designed to govern its third-party model assessors, a list that industry observers agreed was a good one. But they also stressed that it lacked any enforceable controls to truly maintain safety. If the goal is to encourage enterprise CIOs to trust OpenAI more, it won’t help, they said, but most doubted that this was OpenAI’s objective.
