MAIN COURSE

OpenAI loves safety this much 👷‍♂️ 🤏

Yesterday, OpenAI announced its new Safety and Security Committee. The CEO, Sam Altman, and several board members are on it.

What’s the point?

Sam Altman, Adam D’Angelo, Nicole Seligman, and more will handle OpenAI’s “critical safety and security decisions.” They will report to OpenAI’s board, which they are also on.

What about checks and balances?

Good question. Last week, OpenAI’s co-founder and Superalignment team leader, Ilya Sutskever, resigned with other safety officials. Last year, he got Altman temporarily fired.

We covered Ilya Sutskever’s resignation — here.

We reported on Jan Leike’s resignation — here.

We covered Sam Altman’s firing and rehiring — here.

So, what?

Besides forming a safety team stacked with its own board members, OpenAI's leadership is not addressing previous concerns about safety and alignment.

Don’t be safety-blinded. Be safety-minded. 👷‍♂️
