·2025.08.27 22:00

Key point

OpenAI gathered public input from over 1,000 people to improve the Model Spec and released the dataset.

Details

OpenAI conducted collective alignment research to ensure AI models reflect humanity's diverse values and priorities. To this end, it gathered opinions on model behavior from over 1,000 participants worldwide.

The survey results showed that public preferences largely aligned with the existing Model Spec, but for points of disagreement, OpenAI responded as follows.

  • Clarifications: Revised wording that was consistent with existing principles but left room for interpretation
  • Change-of-principles: Proposed new behavioral guidelines that differ from existing principles

OpenAI incorporated some of the gathered opinions, while deferring others as future tasks or excluding them based on principles and feasibility. It also released the collected dataset on HuggingFace to support the advancement of the AI research ecosystem.
