Access to future AI models in OpenAI’s API may require a verified ID

An official issued ID is required to verify from a country supported by OpenAI’s API. Openi says an ID can only verify a company every 90 days and not all agencies will be eligible for verification, Openai says.

“In OpenAI, we take our responsibility seriously to ensure that both AIs are widely accessible and safely used,” read the page. “Unfortunately, a small minority of developers uses OpenAI API to deliberately violate our use policies. We are adding the verification process to reduce AI’s unsafe uses to continue to continue to make advanced models available to the broad developer community.”
