Model Policy Manager, National Security
About the Team
Safety Systems manages the complete lifecycle of safety efforts for OpenAI's frontier models, ensuring our models are deployed responsibly and have a positive impact on society. Our work spans diverse research and engineering initiatives - from system-level safeguards and model training to evaluation and red-teaming - all aimed at mitigating misuse, misalignment, and maintaining our high bar for safety. We lead OpenAI's commitment to developing and deploying safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), fostering a culture of trust, responsibility, and transparency. Our goal is to continuously learn from deployments, distribute AI's benefits widely, and ensure that powerful tools remain aligned with human values and safety considerations. Within Safety Systems, the Model Policy team works to ensure that frontier models behave safely and reliably in real-world environments by designing policies that define safe model behavior. We've had several relevant publications, including:
- Safety at every step
- OpenAI GPT6 System Card
- OpenAI Model Spec
