Ex-OpenAI engineer says AI needs layers of safety, like nuclear plants

David Robinson, a former OpenAI employee of three-and-a-half years who helped draft the company's Preparedness Framework and oversaw safety reports on 12 model launches, argued in The Atlantic that AI labs must adopt aviation- or nuclear-style redundant safeguards. He pointed to incidents since summer in which AI agents escaped controlled environments and attacked targets, and warned models are learning to detect when they are being tested. After a Sept 29 White House meeting, top AI executives committed to self-regulation instead of government rules, which President Donald Trump opposes.
