Sam Altman last week walked OpenAI employees through three proposals the industry has discussed for safely developing AI, The Information reported, citing people familiar with the matter; OpenAI has not confirmed the account. The options were an international organization modeled on the International Atomic Energy Agency that would enforce safety standards, a CERN-like merger of the frontier labs into a single entity that would develop and distribute models, and a scenario Altman called the "Eliezer Plan," in which one lab pulls so far ahead through recursive self-improvement that it cuts off everyone else's compute — an option he said was clearly bad and included only for completeness. According to the reports, Altman said OpenAI needs to decide within the next year which path to push, and that he wants humans to keep control of the technology and avoid excessive concentration of industry power.
