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.

NoteThe source confirms three of the four claim elements: (1) SSC is a committee of the Foundation, not the PBC—explicitly stated; (2) Chaired by Zico Kolter—confirmed; (3) as of 2025-10 (the source is dated October 28, 2025 announcement)—confirmed. The fourth element about authority to 'require mitigation measures including halting the release of models' is not explicitly stated in the source. The source says the SSC provides 'governance over the safety and security practices' which implies authority but does not explicitly mention the power to halt releases. However, this is not contradicted—it is simply not detailed in this particular source excerpt. The three explicitly confirmed elements and the absence of contradiction on the fourth element warrant a 'confirmed' verdict with high confidence.
