OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has X (formerly Twitter) to announce the same. “We are excited to have reached an agreement with the US AI Safety Institute to test our future models before they are released,” Altman said.
OpenAI sees it as important that this happens at the national level, he added. “The United States needs to continue to lead!” he added.
Simply put, the US government would be able to work with AI companies to mitigate potential safety risks that advanced AI models could pose, and then provide feedback.
“Safe, trustworthy AI is critical to the positive impact of technology. Our partnership with the US AI Safety Institute leverages their deep expertise to rigorously test our models before widespread deployment,” said Jack Clark, Anthropic Co-Founder and Head of Policy.

What is the US AI Safety Institute?
The US AI Safety Institute is part of the US Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is a relatively new organization, created last year by the Biden administration to address the risks of AI. In the future, it will also work with the UK government’s AI Safety Institute to help AI companies ensure safety.
Commenting on the new partnership with OpenAI and Anthropic, Elizabeth Kelly, director of the US AI Safety Institute, said: “These agreements are just the beginning, but they are an important milestone as we work to help manage the future of AI responsibly.”
