OpenAI describes specialist DOTS with company identities, access roles and dedicated computers

OpenAI described specialist DOTS as agents for accelerating teams’ functional work, with their own computers and centrally governed identities rather than individual users’ identities.

It said it had an announcement that day about working with Microsoft on centrally governed identities. Inside OpenAI, DOTS run on Mac Minis and are provisioned like employees with identities and IAM roles; they also receive premium machines and handle tasks including procurement. Procurement and accounting were cited as early areas of success, with OpenAI expecting specialist DOTS to be useful in more functions and departments.
