OpenAI disbands AGI Readiness team, departing exec says opportunity cost ‘too high’

Months after it dissolved the Superalignment team that was tasked with research on the implications of AI superintelligence, Sam Altman-led OpenAI has reportedly disbanded its ‘AGI Readiness’ team. The new team that has been dissolved advised OpenAI on its capacity to handle the steadily growing powerful AI and its readiness for the world. The new development came to light after Miles Brundage, senior advisor for AGI Readiness, announced his departure in a Substack post.
