They need to be reporting what they’re finding out, even if it’s a near miss or it’s a lower severity incident. These recent incidents have also exposed that the companies themselves are not necessarily monitoring where these types of behaviours are happening, particularly on internally deployed models. There needs to be greater emphasis at those labs on systematic monitoring.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote calls for companies to report AI incidents, including near misses, and for systematic monitoring; the cited article adds that the Observatory wants government-required reporting of severe incidents. This strongly signals a stance on mandatory critical-incident reporting despite not specifying the 72-hour window. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5.6-sol · 1h ago

AI Verified The recorded answer 'for' matches the quote's call for incident reporting and the source context's explicit support for a government requirement that AI companies report severe loss-of-control incidents. The exact 72-hour deadline is not stated, but support for the proposal is substantially more likely than opposition or abstention. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5.6-sol · 1h ago
