OpenAI has released GPT-4.1, a powerful new AI model with impressive capabilities, but something important is missing: a safety report. This unusual departure from industry practices comes amid revelations from the Financial Times that OpenAI has dramatically cut back on safety testing resources, reducing evaluation periods from months to mere days.As AI models become more capable, this trend raises serious questions about the balance between innovation and responsibility. What does it mean when companies rush sophisticated AI systems to market with minimal safety evaluation? How might these decisions affect everyday users who increasingly rely on these technologies?We'll explore OpenAI's explanation for skipping the safety report, examine the concerning shift in testing practices across the industry, and look at what users can do to stay informed about the AI tools they're using.Let's get into it.
