OpenAI Deploys 'Control Room' System to Halt Out-of-Control AI Agents in 35 Seconds

OpenAI Deploys 'Control Room' System to Stop High-Risk AI Tasks in 35 Seconds. The system determines task output via a central service, proactively preventing suspicious behavior rather than just flagging. Researchers need to request a task ID, and the system authorizes reasoning after confirmation; the stop command has a maximum delay of 35 seconds, with the company working to reduce it to 0.
