Anthropic released version 3.0 of its Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP) in February 2026, eliminating the company's original commitment to pause AI development if safety could not be guaranteed in advance. The safety pause provision had been a defining feature of Anthropic's voluntary governance framework since the company introduced the RSP in 2023. The removal marks a material shift in how Anthropic's self-imposed development constraints are structured, moving away from a precautionary halt mechanism toward an updated framework whose specific replacement controls have not been fully detailed in public reporting. For enterprise compliance teams, this change is relevant to vendor risk assessments and third-party AI governance reviews, as Anthropic's RSP has been cited by organizations as evidence of supplier-level safety commitments when procuring or integrating Claude-based products. Compliance teams that reference Anthropic's published governance commitments in internal risk documentation, procurement due diligence, or regulatory disclosures should review whether those references remain accurate under the new policy version.
OpenAI released GPT-4.5 under a research preview designation, describing it as its largest and most capable chat model to date, in notes published to the OpenAI Help Center. The research preview status signals that the model has not yet reached a full general availability release, which carries direct implications for how enterprises may procure, test, and deploy it. Organizations that treat preview models as production-ready without appropriate governance controls risk accepting undefined risk profiles that fall outside standard AI risk management processes.
The Partnership on AI published a position piece on May 30, 2025, arguing that corporate AI governance programs are materially incomplete without formal controls spanning supply chain responsibility, end-user terms and conditions, AI assurance ecosystems, and real-time monitoring of autonomous AI agents. The piece targets enterprise compliance and risk functions and connects each governance gap to documented incident patterns and operational accountability failures. It does not carry binding regulatory force but represents practitioner-level guidance from a recognized multi-stakeholder body whose membership includes major technology deployers and civil society organizations.
