Senate Democrats and an independent sent a letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman regarding OpenAI's security standards and hiring policies for whistleblowers. The most important part of the letter, first disclosed by The Washington Post, may be Article 9, which reads: "Does OpenAI commit to making its next foundational model available to U.S. government entities for pre-deployment testing, review, analysis, and evaluation?" The letter also lists 11 other points that need to be addressed, including ensuring that OpenAI commits to dedicating 20% of its computing power to security research and establishing protocols to prevent malicious actors or foreign adversaries from stealing OpenAI products.
