OpenAI updated its Safety Standards page on May 28, 2026 by reorganizing how it describes its safety approach and adding descriptive statements for three risk categories. The revised page adds explicit language stating that OpenAI conducts internal evaluations with experts, uses real-world feedback to improve safety, and provides transparency on deep fakes, bias evaluation, and election-related protections. This change makes the safety framework more visibly descriptive but does not materially alter OpenAI's stated safety procedures or commitments.
This change is primarily a presentational update to OpenAI's publicly disclosed safety practices. The revised Safety Standards page now includes more explicit descriptions of how OpenAI conducts internal evaluations, incorporates real-world feedback, and addresses specific risk categories such as deepfakes, bias, and election-related content. No material change to underlying safety procedures, user rights, or obligations occurs under this update.
