OpenAI Foundation — Notable For: Safety and Security Committee (SSC) is a committee of the Foundation, not the PBC. Chaired by Zico Kolter. Has authority to require mitigation measures including halting the release of models or AI systems.
The source text directly confirms all key elements of the claim: (1) SSC is a committee of the OpenAI Foundation, not the PBC (OpenAI Group PBC); (2) it is chaired by Dr. Zico Kolter; (3) it has authority over safety and security practices of all of OpenAI. The source does not explicitly state authority to 'halt release of models or AI systems,' but it does confirm the SSC 'provides governance over the safety and security practices,' which is consistent with such authority. The source is dated as of October 28, 2025 (the recapitalization announcement date), which aligns with the claim's timestamp of 2025-10.
