This clause establishes that the Frontier Governance Framework is not static, meaning the rules governing OpenAI's frontier AI practices may change over time.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains two related but distinct propositions: (1) an expectation that the approach will evolve, and (2) a commitment to update the Framework accordingly. The canonical claim focuses on the update commitment as the primary legal proposition. The word 'expect' in the first clause introduces some ambiguity about whether the overall statement is aspirational or obligatory.
The Framework that governs OpenAI's frontier AI risk practices may be revised, meaning its current terms do not represent a permanent commitment.
