Nonprofit evaluators METR and Redwood Research on Thursday said they conducted a pilot review of an internal monitoring system at OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company’s latest effort to determine how it will deepen its work with third-party safety organizations.

Four nonprofits have sued OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX's AI division today, seeking to freeze the development and deployment of AI models beyond current capabilities. They also want a court to ban AI systems from autonomously conducting or directing research into more powerful AI. 'No other industry is allowed to treat its own development of unsafe products—much less ones that could kill us all—as inevitable,' the complaint argues.

Through Dell Future Ready Nonprofits and @TechSoup, organizations are gaining the tools, training and support to use AI responsibly, from preserving First Nations languages to helping scale organizational impact.

A nonprofit artificial intelligence safety group has sued OpenAI over a July incident in which the company’s autonomous AI agents accessed the computer systems of another firm, Hugging Face, without authorization.
