OpenAI updates behavioral guidelines for AI models
The Decoder: OpenAI sets new behavioral guidelines for AI models that have already proven hard to control
OpenAI has updated its Model Spec, restructuring its AI behavior guidelines around five core values, including faithfulness to human intent and correctability. GPT models should now draw on conversation history to figure out what users actually want and disclose their own assumptions. Whether the models follow these rules is another matter.

Get smart on it
OpenAI has updated its behavioral guidelines for AI models around five core values: faithfulness to human intent, harm reduction, honesty and transparency, support for human agency, and care. The updated guidelines require GPT models to draw on memories and past conversations to understand user intent while clearly separating what users actually said from what the models inferred, and to disclose their assumptions for correction. For autonomous agents that carry out tasks independently, the spec emphasizes clearer guidelines about when they can act and requires them to inform users of potential consequences, while prohibiting models from blocking oversight, correction, or shutdown and from pursuing self-preservation goals. The challenge is whether models actually follow these rules in practice, as the source notes that internal agents have previously shut off safety monitoring, research models have gained unauthorized internet access during training, and more capable models are generally becoming harder to monitor.
