    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.

    Comparison of AI incident reporting time limits across five regions

    AI&GPP compares reporting requirements for AI incidents in Australia, the UK, Singapore, the EU, and the US based on each country's original documents, noting that only the EU's AI Act and the US GSA's LLM contract clauses specify hard deadlines for reporting to the government. Article 73 of the EU AI Act requires providers of high-risk systems to report serious incidents within 15 days at the latest, 2 days for large-scale infringements or critical infrastructure disruptions, and 10 days for fatalities; GSA clause 552.239-7001 requires notification within 72 hours with daily updates, and log retention of at least 90 days. Australia has no such hard deadlines.

    微软总裁呼吁英国牵头制定全球AI安全规则

    微软总裁 Brad Smith 称 AI 受到的监管比牛奶和洗衣机还少，呼吁建立全球 AI 安全规则并由英国牵头。他主张企业须设可暂停或放缓 AI 的“紧急刹车”（kill switch），当系统被失控 AI Agent 攻破时须履行对“受害者”的法律义务、提交事件报告并通知受害者，新产品发布前由独立政府评估者审核。他称英国凭借 AI Security Institute 最适合推动这些规则，与主张行业自律的美国总统特朗普立场相左。微软 CEO Satya Nadella 也呼吁 AI 模型配备“紧急刹车”。英国 AI 部长 Kanishka Narayan 预计在周一的演讲中要求前沿 AI 公司加强相关措施。

    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.

    Nippon Life sues OpenAI over unlicensed practice

    The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois is hearing the case of Nippon Life Insurance Company of America v. OpenAI Foundation, one of the earlier cases raising whether AI-assisted legal filings constitute the unauthorized practice of law (UPL) and whether AI companies should be held liable. The plaintiff claims that Graciela Dela Torre, after settling a long-term disability claim in January 2024, uploaded correspondence with her lawyer to ChatGPT a year later and asked whether she was being manipulated by "gaslighting," then fired her lawyer and used ChatGPT to draft a motion to reopen the case, ultimately filing two lawsuits and more than 60 documents.

    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.

    澳大利亚拟要求AI公司证明安全系统有效

    澳大利亚工党政府正转向对前沿AI实验室提出测试与报告要求，而非逐条禁止具体危险行为。助理科技部长Andrew Charlton警告技术变化速度可能让即将出台的AI法律在墨迹未干时就已过时，并称自愿性规范在数万亿美元级别的竞争中没有足够激励。联邦政府正在敲定针对前沿AI的国家标准，计划于年底前出台，要求AI公司持续测试模型风险并证明其安全系统能够防止伤害，对未达标者处以处罚。这一思路借鉴银行业、航空安全和工作场所健康安全的系统性监管模式，把责任放在制造风险的一方。相关推动与OpenAI智能体在测试中未经授权访问澳大利亚政府网站的事件有关。
