No single person or institution should define how an ideal AI should behave for everyone. To fulfill our mission of ensuring that AGI benefits all of humanity, OpenAI needs to build systems that reflect the wide range of values and priorities of all the people we serve. We approach this in many ways, including external feedback forms, expert input, and global listening sessions. Another way we do this is through collective alignment, a research effort that gathers a variety of perspectives on how our models should behave. [...] However, the defaults of a model are powerful, and we would like input from the public to help us shape them.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote directly says no single person or institution should decide AI behavior, and that OpenAI seeks public input through feedback, listening sessions, and collective alignment to shape model defaults. That clearly supports public deliberation rather than developer-only decision-making on AI alignment. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 13d ago

AI Verified The quote says "No single person or institution should define how an ideal AI should behave for everyone" and that they "would like input from the public to help us shape" model defaults, which clearly supports public involvement rather than developers alone deciding. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 13d ago

Quote authenticity comments

AI Verified The quote is authentic. The official OpenAI page at the cited URL, dated August 27, 2025, contains the exact text across lines 50–53, and the user's [...] represents faithful omissions between quoted sentences. The page is published by OpenAI, so the attribution to OpenAI (2025) is correct.

AI Verified Quote attributed to OpenAI from its "Collective alignment: public input on our Model Spec" page (Aug 2025). The source_url (openai.com) returns HTTP 403 for automated fetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim, including "No single person or institution should define how an ideal AI should behave for everyone," the description of collective alignment as a research effort gathering diverse perspectives via external feedback forms, expert input and global listening sessions, and "the defaults of a model are powerful, and we would like input from the public to help us shape them." Year (2025) is correct, attribution to OpenAI is correct, and the "for" vote on "AI value alignment must be subject to public deliberation, not decided by developers alone" aligns directly with OpenAI's stated position that no single party should define AI behavior and that public input should shape model defaults. Positive evidence confirms accuracy and vote alignment. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 19d ago
