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 claim about authority to 'require mitigation measures including halting the release of models' is not explicitly addressed in the source text provided. The source says the SSC provides 'governance over the safety and security practices' but does not detail specific enforcement powers like halting releases. This is a minor gap, but the three core facts are clearly confirmed.
