Claim LD08-SL-C28 (v1.0)

Twenty-three researchers argued that the terms of service and enforcement strategies of prominent AI companies discourage good-faith safety evaluation and that researcher access programmes “often do not notify researchers of rejections”; they proposed voluntary legal and technical safe harbours.
