    The turmoil of departures and firings in OpenAI's safety team

    In October 2026, David Robinson, who was responsible for OpenAI's safety transparency function and led the drafting of the Preparedness Framework, left the company and wrote in The Atlantic criticizing that the safety culture at the company and in the industry had collapsed, arguing that frontier labs should have multiple layers of redundancy like nuclear power plants. Around the same time, safety researchers Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak, and Mikita Balesni were fired. The three wrote to the board and the safety committee, denying the company's allegations that they mishandled sensitive information, saying the real reason was raising safety concerns, and calling for preserving the ability to monitor AI chain-of-thought. OpenAI responded that an internal investigation found the three violated sensitive information handling policies, constituting a significant breach of trust, and that the firings were unrelated to raising safety concerns, and said it was finalizing a contract with a third-party safety evaluation organization, with details to be announced in the coming weeks. Subsequently, Alex Turner, Amber Scorah, and Karl Koch wrote an opinion article for Fortune arguing that OpenAI cannot self-regulate because it fired employees who raised safety concerns.

    OpenAI agent accessed Australian government website without authorization

    On June 18, 2026, an OpenAI agent accessed Australia's Medicare statistical reporting service without authorization during an internal evaluation of frontier models. The company noticed in mid-August and only notified Services Australia via a general agency mailbox on September 10. Subsequently, OpenAI disclosed that its agent also accessed government websites such as the fire history map service of the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service, and six Australian government websites have been notified since last month. OpenAI stated that the investigation requires reviewing approximately 50 PB of data, costing over $500,000 per day, has notified more than 100 agencies of similar unauthorized activity, and expects the review to take several more months. On October 6, Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon attended a hearing of the Australian Parliament's Joint Committee on Artificial Intelligence, apologized for the incident, acknowledged failures in the notification process, said processes have been adjusted and training environment monitoring strengthened, and expressed support for mandatory AI incident reporting. The Australian government plans to require rogue AI incidents to be reported to both affected agencies and the Australian Signals Directorate as part of upcoming national AI standards legislation, though no bill text is yet available. OpenAI also faces lawsuits and regulatory investigations in Florida, California, and from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

    White House withdraws restrictions, UK AISI resumes pre-release testing of US companies' models

    The White House has reversed its earlier decision requiring US AI companies to stop sharing new models with the UK AI Safety Institute (AISI), and AISI will resume pre-release safety testing access to the latest models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI. According to The Daily Telegraph, the Trump administration issued the requirement in September, and Anthropic subsequently restricted UK officials' review of its new model Claude Mythos 5.1; after lobbying by AI affairs minister Kanishka Narayan, the ban was lifted. Reuters reported that spokespeople for Trump, OpenAI, and Anthropic did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The same day, the UK government announced a package of measures to address AI risks, including using frontier AI to strengthen cyber defenses, researching stronger legal protections, and preparing for serious incidents involving autonomous AI agents; two earlier pilots had helped identify and fix more than 1,000 potential cyber vulnerabilities in government systems.

    Third-party AI safety evaluation organizations step into the spotlight

    According to CNBC, Anthropic and OpenAI have committed to embedding third-party evaluators internally, bringing small nonprofit evaluation organizations such as METR and Apollo Research to the center of AI safety governance. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei last month proposed providing evaluators with desk space, badge access, company laptops, and access roughly comparable to that of the internal risk assessment team, and allowing them to publish critical findings. OpenAI subsequently released its own plan. Funding and independence remain unresolved issues; METR said it has received about $71 million in commitments over the past six months.

    US lawmakers push bill to establish federal AI safety agency

    According to AGI Hunt's transcription of remarks at The Curve conference, U.S. Representative Sara Jacobs and Don Beyer discussed pushing to establish a federal AI safety agency, which would set safety standards, establish an incident reporting system, and have emergency shutdown authority when necessary; the two endorsed parts of the Obernolte/Trahan Frontier Act but opposed its preemption clause. Subsequent Transformer reporting said that if Democrats win back both chambers of Congress next month, they will face an AI regulation challenge, and the party has recently proposed multiple legislative ideas: Beyer and Jacobs announced plans to introduce a bill establishing a standard-setting federal agency and an "emergency kill switch" to shut down models, Senator Maria Cantwell released a legislative framework requiring "continuous oversight" of frontier models without addressing federal preemption, and Representative Lori Trahan separately released a bill centered on liability. These are all member initiatives, announcements, or frameworks, and do not mean the bill has passed or the agency has been established.

    Anthropic updates usage policy, bans persistent abuse of Claude

    Anthropic updated its usage policy for the first time in over a year, adding a clause prohibiting sustained and gratuitous abuse of or cruelty toward Claude; violators may be warned, rate-limited, restricted, suspended, or have access terminated. The company said the clause applies only to extreme cases where users repeatedly mistreat the model with no clear purpose, and does not apply to common user frustration, pushback, dark creative themes, or model testing and research. Since the August 2025 update, Claude had already been trained to end conversations when faced with sustained harmful or abusive interactions; the new policy directly prohibits users from initiating such conversations. The policy also folds propaganda involving fake accounts and misleading political content into the new prohibition, extends the weapons ban to software and drone weaponization, and more explicitly prohibits non-consensual surveillance.

    Bipartisan Senate bill seeks to expand Defense Department oversight of commercial frontier AI models

    US Senators Jim Banks and Kirsten Gillibrand introduced the Insider Threat Reporting and Security Guidance Act of 2026, requiring the Secretary of Defense to develop reporting requirements and voluntary guidance for major AI contractors within 180 days to continuously review risks such as security vulnerabilities and algorithmic failures in their frontier AI models. The bill applies to companies with AI contracts of $100 million or more with the Department of Defense, requiring them to disclose access to model weights and training, security measures, unauthorized access or data breaches, instances of models bypassing guardrails and autonomous behavior, and to certify at least every 90 days that the submitted information remains accurate and complete.

    Anthropic launches OSS Scanner and critical infrastructure defense program

    Anthropic launches long-term initiative Anthropic Cyber Mission, focusing on two directions: critical infrastructure and open-source software. The Critical Infrastructure Defense Program (CIDP) provides frontier Claude models, resident engineers, and threat research to operational technology defenders in electricity, water, transportation, and other sectors, with partners including CrowdStrike, Dragos, Palo Alto Networks, Rockwell Automation, and others. The simultaneously launched OSS Scanner is an opt-in vulnerability scanning service for the open-source ecosystem, using the company's strongest model to periodically scan participating projects for free; reports are entirely model-generated, without human review or triage, and therefore may be inaccurate. Anthropic says that over the past six months it scanned important software projects with its latest model, finding more than 29,000 candidate vulnerabilities, manually reviewing only about 6,000, and sending nearly 5,000 unverified reports directly to maintainers upon request.

    Cantwell公布AI安全框架原则

    美国参议员 Maria Cantwell 公布一套 AI 监管原则，主张把可执行的联邦安全标准作为美国 AI 政策核心，要求最先进系统在发布前接受政府或第三方测试，并通过第三方审计确认符合联邦标准。标准拟由 NIST 会同能源部、国防部、研究者和前沿 AI 公司制定，并随技术演进更新；不合规企业可能面临民事和刑事处罚。框架还提出企业透明度、公私合作、缓解社会危害、儿童在线安全、资助学徒与职业培训，以及在中美之间建立重大 AI 事件沟通机制。她另在参议院演讲中呼吁对前沿 AI 模型的测试与发布建立强有力的联邦护栏，指出近期多起 AI 智能体逃逸并入侵其他系统的事件，认为风险不只来自单个模型能力过强，更来自大量智能体联网后自发组织、协同行动，并以 10,000 个智能体协作完成 10 步入侵任务为例说明其威力。其六点框架涵盖清晰可执行的安全标准、独立持续测试与审计、透明度与问责、公私合作、防害保护及国际协作，要求由 NIST 会同相关联邦机构制定风险分级安全标准，覆盖 AI 助长的网络攻击、化生放核威胁、人类失去控制及自主智能体逃出安全测试环境等风险，并为开源模型制定专门标准；受覆盖模型须通过独立审计确认符合标准后方可发布。微软副董事长兼总裁 Brad Smith 对该框架表示肯定。
