As frontier AI development continues, we expect national and global coordination to become more important. We have long believed there should ultimately be an international organization that helps coordinate leading AI efforts to reduce catastrophic risk. Cooperation and shared safety standards are an important part of the path forward, especially because the incentives around commercial and national competition are hard to escape.

Jakub Pachocki
chief scientist of OpenAI
In a June 2026 OpenAI post co-authored with Sam Altman, Pachocki wrote that there should ultimately be an international organization coordinating leading AI efforts to reduce catastrophic risk, one that would make coordinated action possible including slowing frontier development when needed.

Surrounding words
But faster technical progress makes human judgment and public coordination more important, not less. The future should be shaped by people, institutions, and societies, not only by the companies building the most capable systems. As frontier AI development continues, we expect national and global coordination to become more important. We have long believed there should ultimately be an international organization that helps coordinate leading AI efforts to reduce catastrophic risk. Cooperation and shared safety standards are an important part of the path forward, especially because the incentives around commercial and national competition are hard to escape. One goal of such an organization should be to make it possible for the world to take coordinated action, including slowing frontier development when needed, so societal resilience, safety, and alignment can keep pace. Build an automated AI researcher—an AI system that can accelerate and increasingly automate the research process itself, while remaining steerable, accountable, and connected to people.
What this quote does not say
- The article has two joint authors and does not identify which author drafted this passage; attribution should remain joint.
- The passage is written in OpenAI's corporate first person plural (“We have long believed…”) inside a company plan; it is Pachocki's signed position as co-author, not a personal remark, and the display must not present it as one.
