Summary
As AI systems become more capable, they increasingly act on behalf of users. With Codex, they've designed these capabilities alongside the controls organizations need for safe deployment. At OpenAI, they deploy Codex with a few clear goals: keep the agent inside clear technical boundaries, let developers move quickly on low-risk actions, and make higher-risk actions explicit. The team deploy Codex with a simple principle that it should be productive inside a bounded environment, low-risk everyday actions should be frictionless, and higher-risk actions should stop for review.
