OpenAI says it treats safety cases as an aspirational goal and is working on a framework to codify the practices. Quote: "We treat safety cases as an aspirational north star we are building towards, while acknowledging the challenges of making them as rigorous for AI models as for aviation or nuclear power, due to the emergent complexity at each new level of AI capability. We’re working on a framework to codify these practices."

The exact words it rests on

We treat safety cases as an aspirational north star we are building towards, while acknowledging the challenges of making them as rigorous for AI models as for aviation or nuclear power, due to the emergent complexity at each new level of AI capability. We’re working on a framework to codify these practices.
