The clause creates a gating mechanism that ties model advancement and release decisions to quantified risk assessment outcomes, establishing operational constraints on which model versions OpenAI may make available or continue iterating on.
Users interact only with models that meet the specified post-mitigation risk threshold for deployment ("medium" or below). The provision does not directly impose obligations or restrictions on users, but establishes the risk posture of available models.
How other platforms handle this
We may use Materials to provide, maintain, and improve the Services and to develop other products and services, including training our models, unless you opt out of training through your account settings. Even if you opt out, we will use Materials for model training when: (1) you provide Feedback to...
We may use the information we collect, including the content of your searches and interactions with our AI, to train, fine-tune, and improve our models and services.
AI systems should treat all people fairly. For example, when AI systems are used to help make decisions about medical treatment, loan applications, or employment, they should make the same recommendations to everyone who has similar symptoms, financial situations, or professional qualifications.
