On October 3, 2023 we publicly released the system card⁠ for our text to image model DALL-E 3⁠, the first major public release of a new frontier model within the scope of our voluntary commitments. In line with both our mission and the voluntary commitments, we did critical safety work including pre-deployment safety evaluation and red-teaming. In addition, we are working toward new methods to empower people to track the provenance of AI-generated media, and have continued to invest in responsible practices through our rollout of voice and image analysis capabilities in ChatGPT.

We have also met our voluntary commitment⁠ to “establish or join a forum or mechanism through which [we] can develop, advance, and adopt shared standards and best practices for frontier AI safety,” by co-founding the Frontier Model Forum. This new industry body, jointly established with Microsoft, Google Deepmind, and Anthropic, is a venue to advance AI safety research and promote responsible development practices for frontier AI systems.

Frontier AI models have the potential to benefit all of humanity, but also pose increasingly severe risks. To manage these risks as AI models continue to improve, we are developing a Preparedness Framework, which deepens our proactive, risk-based approach to responsible frontier model development, especially in relation to catastrophic risks.

The Preparedness Framework will detail our approach to developing rigorous frontier model capability evaluations and monitoring, as well as establishing a governance structure for accountability and oversight across the development process. The risks we plan to track as part of this policy span multiple categories including cybersecurity, persuasion, chemical and biological threats, and autonomy.
