OpenAI Updates Its Preparedness Framework
OpenAI has published an updated version of its Preparedness Framework, which governs how the company measures and mitigates severe risks from frontier AI capabilities. The framework sets thresholds and protocols for evaluating dangerous capability levels across domains such as CBRN, cybersecurity, and persuasion. This update reflects ongoing evolution in OpenAI's internal safety governance as frontier models grow more capable.

Anthropic publishes major update to Responsible Scaling Policy with new capability thresholds and ASL standards
Anthropic released a significant revision to its Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP), its risk governance framework for managing catastrophic risks from frontier AI. The update introduces two explicit capability thresholds—autonomous AI R&D and CBRN weapons uplift—that trigger mandatory upgrades to AI Safety Level (ASL) standards, with current models operating under ASL-2. New elements include safety-case-inspired documentation processes, internal governance stress-testing, and external expert input mechanisms, drawing on risk management practices from high-consequence industries like biosafety.
Preparing for future AI risks in biology
