📝 New OpenAI Safety Commitee

News of the Day

OpenAI has established a new Safety and Security Committee to oversee critical safety and security decisions, consisting of company insiders including CEO Sam Altman, rather than independent observers. This move, coinciding with high-profile departures from the company's safety team, has sparked criticism. Former employees have expressed concerns about the prioritization of AI safety. The committee will review OpenAI’s safety processes and report to the board, with plans to publish an update on any adopted recommendations. OpenAI has pledged to include third-party experts like Rob Joyce and John Carlin, although the extent of their influence remains unclear. This initiative aims to address criticisms amid growing scrutiny over the company’s commitment to ethical AI development.
