OpenAI sets up safety committee as it starts training new model

OpenAI has formed a Safety and Security Committee which will be led by CEO Sam Altman as it begins training its next artificial intelligence model, the AI startup said on Tuesday.

Directors Bret Taylor, Adam D’Angelo and Nicole Seligman, will also lead the committee, OpenAI said on a company blog.

Former Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, who were leaders of Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s Superalignment team, which ensured AI stays aligned to the intended objectives, left the firm earlier this month.
