Openai may promptly require your organization to complete the identity verification process to access certain future AI models. According to the support page It was published last week on the company’s website.
The verification process, known as a verified organization, is “a new way for developers to unlock access to the most advanced models and features on the OpenAI platform.” Verification requires a government-issued ID from one of the countries supported by Openai’s API. An ID can only validate one organization every 90 days, and not all organizations are eligible for verification, Openai said.
“At Openai, we take responsibility seriously to ensure that AI is widely accessible and safe to use,” reads the page. “Unfortunately, a small number of developers are intentionally using the Openai API in violation of their usage policy. We will add a validation process to mitigate the insecure use of AI, making the advanced model available to the broader developer community.”
Openai has released a new verified organizational status as a new way for developers to unlock access to the most advanced models and features on the platform and prepare them for the “next exciting model release.”
