OpenAI says it changed its safety work after a hack
In an interview, OpenAI research chief Mark Chen says the company now watches model training more closely and shifted some computing power to safety work. A faster alert after another incident is not proof that the safeguards contained it.

What the source reports
MIT Technology Review interviewed OpenAI research chief Mark Chen about changes after a hack. Chen says the company watches training runs and moved 5-10 percent of its computing power toward safety work. He also says it paused training of its latest model. Another incident reportedly led to a faster alert under the new safeguards. That may show quicker detection. It does not prove the company stopped the incident or that its safety work is effective. These are company accounts reported in an interview.
