OpenAI proposes that the US lead the creation of global standards for SI that accelerates its own development

Self-improving SI has gone from science fiction to a subject of technical standards, and companies want to set the rules themselves before rules are imposed on them.
In a proposal published on September 21, OpenAI urges the US, through its Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI), to unite the national SI safety institutes of Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Kenya, Japan, Korea, Singapore, India and the UK and write technical standards for frontier models, including recursive self-improvement (when SI takes on more and more of the work of creating the next generations of SI). The standards should cover three areas: how to measure the share of autonomous research inside companies, which automated processes require immediate human review, and how to classify and report incidents. The proposal contains no licenses, mandatory pre-release testing or model approval. "Fully autonomous self-improvement is not happening today, and it should not be pursued until it can be done safely," the company writes, although an automated SI researcher is one of its three goals.
