A former OpenAI leader who resigned from the company earlier this week said on Friday that safety has 'taken a backseat to shiny products' at the influential artificial intelligence company. Jan Leike, who ran OpenAI's 'Super Alignment' team alongside a company co-founder who also resigned this week, wrote in a series of posts on the social media platform X that he joined the San Francisco-based company because he thought it would be the best place to do AI research.
''OpenAI must become a safety-first AGI company,' wrote Leike using the abbreviated version of artificial general intelligence, a futuristic vision of machines that are as broadly smart as humans or at least can do many things as well as people can.Leike's resignation came after OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever said Tuesday that he was leaving the company after nearly a decade.
