OpenAI's Sam Altman Calls for Frontier AI Safety Standards

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman calls for shared safety standards across frontier AI companies, saying the industry must build confidence in responsible development. Altman welcomes a federal framework with consistent safety requirements and independent auditors, but emphasizes that companies should not wait for legislation to begin work. He clarifies that "pacing" development does not mean stopping, but rather slowing progress to ensure safety measures are implemented at a reasonable cost. Altman argues that the industry must deliver on responsible development to maintain public confidence.
