This clause signals that OpenAI is positioning its existing safety and security practices against a specific emerging legal standard, which may indicate the scope of its compliance posture.
Interpretive note: The excerpt uses the word 'explains,' which describes a communicative act rather than a legal obligation or guarantee of compliance.
