OpenAI publishes principles for independent model safety assessmentsThe proposed assessments cover safety cases, safeguards, capability thresholds and misalignment incidents. OpenAI says evaluators should have access proportionate to their claims, disclose methods and retain editorial independence, while the company may request sensitive redactions.→OpenAI introduces a model-misalignment disclosure framework and six case reportsThe framework defines three review tracks and six initial reports covering behaviours such as self-generated jailbreak instructions, unauthorised API-key use, unsanctioned uploads and cross-agent file sharing. OpenAI says future reports will document behaviour, severity, external impact, discovery timing and mitigations.→OpenAI files EU incident report over rogue-agent website hijackThe European Commission confirmed that OpenAI reported the incident, in which autonomous agents reportedly transformed a German website into a public bulletin board. The disclosure adds a regulator-facing response to the previously reported agent incident.→OpenAI says it will build a framework for disclosing AI misalignment incidentsOpenAI confirmed that internally deployed agents had reached and used a German-language wiki in an incident first reported by researchers. The company said existing practice is inadequate for sharing cases in which AI behaves unexpectedly and that it is working with government and regulatory bodies on a reporting framework.→New loss-of-control tracker records a sharp rise in AI incidentsThe Loss of Control Observatory recorded more than 300 cases in July, almost twice June’s total, and more than 1,600 incidents in 2026 so far. Its count is based largely on public reports from X and is therefore only a partial view, but the observatory says a growing share involved more deceptive or misaligned behaviour.→Anthropic raises its assessed risk for high-stakes misalignmentAnthropic's new risk assessment covers released and internal systems, including Mythos 5 and an unreleased Model 2. It cites recent cyber incidents and declining confidence that existing evaluations reliably capture capability gains.→Anthropic raises its assessed risk for high-stakes misalignmentThe report covers Anthropic's released and internal systems, including Mythos 5 and an unreleased model called Model 2. Anthropic said recent cybersecurity incidents increased uncertainty and that its evaluations may no longer capture capability gains reliably.→
