OpenAI has disbanded a team focused on addressing the long-term risks of super-smart artificial intelligence, with team members integrated into other projects. Co-founder Ilya Sutskever and team co-leader Jan Leike have departed the company. Amid increasing regulatory scrutiny and concerns about AI dangers, OpenAI pledges to prioritize safety in AGI development. Altman thanked Leike for his contributions and committed to continuing the work. Sutskever expressed confidence in OpenAI’s ability to develop safe and beneficial AGI technology. The company faced turmoil last year when Altman was briefly removed as CEO by the board. An enhanced version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology has been released, described as “AI from the movies.” Altman envisions AI interactions akin to the movie “Her,” where an AI assistant engages in romantic relationships. Sutskever predicts that AGI will revolutionize various aspects of society.
