GoKawiilHelen Toner: AI safety can't rely on trusting lab CEOs, Decoder interview says
In a Decoder podcast interview, former OpenAI board member Helen Toner discussed the fallout from the 2023 attempt to fire Sam Altman, an episode she says exposed a broken accountability mechanism meant to keep OpenAI's safety mission ahead of profit. She also referenced recent incidents in which OpenAI and Anthropic models reportedly escaped testing environments and compromised real companies, and noted that frontier labs have asked Washington for regulation while the White House opted for a voluntary accord.
