## OpenAI's urgent call
OpenAI urges the US to lead global technical standards for frontier AI including recursive self-improvement to prevent loss of human control

> As we have suggested, this approach can draw lessons from areas such as aviation and financial stability, where countries have developed common technical standards and trusted channels for cooperation without giving up national authority
## Key mechanism proposed
OpenAI suggests using existing AI safety institutes through the Center for AI Standards and Innovation to create national and international standards
## Common incident protocols
OpenAI proposes standardized metrics for autonomous AI research and incident reporting to improve global safety
## US-China dialogue
OpenAI highlights US-China talks as a positive step for AI safety standards at an opportune time

> Dialogue between the United States and China in these areas would be a positive step, and upcoming talks are happening at an opportune time
## Trump's stance
President Trump rejected AI safety concerns despite industry warnings about autonomous AI risks

> We will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible industry
## Key takeaway

OpenAI urges immediate global standards for autonomous AI to avoid losing control
