OpenAI has halted the rollout of a new artificial‑intelligence model after its own safety chief said the system “didn’t quite meet the bar” of the firm’s security standards.
The decision was announced by the company in a brief statement, confirming that the model will not be released to customers or developers until it satisfies OpenAI’s internal safety criteria.
“The model didn’t quite meet the bar of the firm’s security standards,” the safety chief said, emphasizing that the company would not compromise on safeguards before a public launch.
OpenAI, the creator of the widely used ChatGPT service, has repeatedly highlighted the importance of rigorous testing and risk assessment for its AI products. The firm has previously delayed or adjusted releases when safety concerns arose, underscoring a policy of prioritising responsible deployment.
With the rollout paused, OpenAI said it will continue to refine the model’s safety mechanisms and conduct further evaluations before any future release is considered.
