OpenAI revised its Safety Standards page on June 2, 2026, removing three sentences about feedback mechanisms and testing procedures while reorganizing how it describes its safety approach. The updated version now emphasizes teaching AI to filter harmful content and respond with empathy, conducting internal evaluations with expert input on real-world scenarios, and incorporating real-world feedback to improve safety. The change restructures the presentation of safety practices without materially altering the stated commitments to safety testing or feedback integration.
The updated Safety Standards page describes OpenAI's approach to AI safety through three primary mechanisms: teaching AI systems to filter harmful content and respond with empathy, conducting internal evaluations and working with external experts on real-world scenarios, and incorporating real-world feedback to improve safety. The revised language reorganizes how these practices are presented but does not establish new user obligations or materially alter the commitments OpenAI makes regarding safety testing or feedback incorporation.
