Ilya Sutskever, the former chief scientist and co-founder of OpenAI, has announced his new venture, Safe Superintelligence Inc, which aims to develop “safe superintelligence.” This move comes after his departure from OpenAI in May, following a tumultuous period of leadership changes and power struggles within the company. Sutskever’s new venture marks a significant shift in his career, as he seeks to prioritize safety in AI development. His departure from OpenAI was preceded by a series of dramatic events, including the attempted ousting of CEO Sam Altman, which ultimately led to Altman’s reinstatement and a new board composition. Sutskever’s new company, Safe Superintelligence Inc, brings together a team of experienced AI researchers, including former Apple AI lead Daniel Gross and ex-OpenAI technical staff member Daniel Levy. The company’s mission is to advance AI capabilities while prioritizing safety, a crucial aspect often overlooked in the pursuit of innovation.
