ACM FAccT 2026

Why it matters

Event archive

ACM FAccT 2026 convened interdisciplinary research on responsible, safe, ethical, and trustworthy computing in Montréal. Its program covered AI audits and evaluation practice, red teaming and adversarial testing, assurance and deployment policy, regulation and governance, sociotechnical safety, threat models, transparency, and value alignment.

My takeaway: The archive is useful for testing whether a security evaluation measures the right harms and affected groups. Pair technical attack success with institutional accountability, deployment context, recourse, transparency, and distributional impact; distinguish empirical audits from normative or legal analysis.

Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities

OpenAI says preliminary evidence that Astra may meet its Critical cybersecurity threshold led it to pause frontier reinforcement-learning work for two weeks and keep its largest planned run on hold. New safeguards include stronger workload and network isolation, continuous boundary testing, token-level monitoring that escalates suspicious tool activity, and broader alignment checks for deception, reward hacking, and unauthorized access.

A blueprint for democratic governance of frontier AI

OpenAI proposes a three-part U.S. frontier-AI governance model: harmonize emerging state safety laws into a federal baseline, strengthen CAISI as an evaluation and standards institution, and coordinate a broader resilience program. Proposed controls include severe-risk evaluations, transparency reports, independent audits, safety-incident reporting, model-weight security, whistleblower protection, and periodic technical assessments.

OpenAI’s Frontier Governance Framework

OpenAI's 22-page Frontier Governance Framework maps its frontier-model processes to California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act and the EU AI Act's general-purpose AI code. It documents lifecycle risk assessment, cyber-offense and other risk tiers, mitigation and residual-risk decisions, critical-incident handling, security risk management, model reporting, external review, responsibility allocation, and change control.
