About the team
Frontier AI models have the potential to benefit all of humanity but also pose increasingly severe risks. To ensure that AI promotes positive change we have dedicated a team to help us best prepare for the development of increasingly capable frontier AI models. This team is tasked with preparing for catastrophic risks related to advanced AI systems.
Specifically the mission of the Preparedness team is to:
Closely monitor and predict the evolving capabilities of frontier AI systems with an eye towards misuse risks whose impact could be catastrophic (not necessarily existential) to our society; and
Ensure we have concrete procedures infrastructure and partnerships to mitigate these risks and more broadly to safely handle the development of powerful AI systems.
Our team will coordinate evaluations and risk assessments for powerful AI models. The teams core goal is to ensure that we have the infrastructure needed for the safety of increasingly capable AI systems including potential future general-purpose models.

Perform statistical analyses on our frontier evaluations
Collaborate with cross-functional teams within and outside of OpenAI to translate our technical findings into policy recommendations
Contribute to the refinement of risk management and the overall development of best practice guidelines for AI safety evaluations
