OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: Stated July 28, 2026, that the AI industry "may have to pace the rate of AI development to give ourselves enough time for society to harden around some of these new capability levels," reversing his 2023 position that pause proposals were "missing most technical nuance"
About this scorecard
The AI Execution Risk Score (AERS) is a 0-100 metric quantifying the gap between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s public AI claims and demonstrated delivery. Higher AERS = stronger track record. Each claim above is drawn from a primary source linked in the original Ledger entry; the horizon date is when the claim becomes graded under the published methodology. Materiality is the editor’s assessment of the claim’s formality from 1 (PR statement) to 5 (earnings call or SEC filing).
