OpenAI Proposes Global Body With Power to Monitor and Slow AI Development

OpenAI published a blog post on June 9, 2026, titled "Built to benefit everyone: our plan," calling for governments to establish a global body to monitor advanced artificial intelligence development. The post was authored by CEO Sam Altman and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki. It states that national and global coordination will become more important as AI development continues.

"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," the post states. The proposal would allow the world to slow frontier development when risks outstrip safeguards. Benzinga reported the details of the post.

Anthropic issued a similar message last week. Gizmodo also covered the OpenAI announcement. com/index/built-to-benefit-everyone-our-plan/.
