Change Summary
In an update detected on August 19, 2026, OpenAI's Safety Standards page was reorganized to emphasize its three-pillar safety approach. The updated layout now leads with 'Safety & responsibility' and restructures content around Teach, Test, and Share phases. The page also updated its featured safety resources section, replacing older publications (parental controls from September 2025, preparedness framework from April 2025) with more recent materials (pacing model development from August 2026, safety and alignment from July 2026, context recognition from May 2026).
