The OpenAI Board announced it has veto power, particularly focused on the safety risks of cutting-edge models such as GPT-5. The company has established a security advisory team that reports monthly to ensure management is aware of misuse cases for models like ChatGPT. Under the new safety framework, the company has set requirements for models to achieve safety scores before entering the next development phase. Three safety teams have been formed to address AI risks across different time scales, mainly covering cybersecurity and CBRN risks. The company conducts regular safety drills and invites third-party red teams for independent evaluations of the models to ensure their safety.
