OpenAI announced on Sept. 22 that it is talking with multiple independent assessors to help grow the number of companies with expertise in frontier artificial intelligence safety. [^6]

The announcement lands the day after more than 20 world leaders launched a joint statement, 'A Call for Control of Frontier AI Models,' urging stronger international oversight of advanced AI systems. [^4] Trump said the U.S. would maintain sovereignty over artificial intelligence, resisting international governance efforts. [^5] OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote on X that international safety standards for AI are necessary to mitigate risks and prevent global regulatory fragmentation. [^7]

On the infrastructure side, LG Electronics and LG Energy Solution joined Nvidia's DSX Ready program, qualifying their products for next-generation AI data center construction. [^8]

On the networks, Reliquary (SN81) operates on the Bittensor chain as a decentralized reinforcement-learning training market, where miners search for prompts that challenge an AI model, generate candidate responses, and submit them for verification. [^2]

The record does not carry who the independent assessors are, how many companies OpenAI hopes the pool will hold, or a timetable for the talks.
