Pace of AI development ‘terrifying,’ says former safety researcher at OpenAI

A former safety researcher at OpenAI says he is “pretty terrified” about the pace of development in artificial intelligence, warning the industry is taking a “very risky gamble” on the technology, The Guardian reports.

Adler, who left OpenAI in November, said in a series of posts on X that he’d had a “wild ride” at the US company and would miss “many parts of it”.

However, he said the technology was developing so quickly it raised doubts about the future of humanity.
