Renowned AI researcher Ilya Sutskever launches Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI) with a focus on AI safety, departing from former employer OpenAI due to safety concerns. SSI aims to create safe superintelligence free from commercial pressures, concentrating solely on research and development with a small team.

SSI will not commercialize AI models like OpenAI, focusing instead on safe superintelligence aligned with human interests. Sutskever emphasizes creating an AI system that will not harm humanity, operate on values like liberty and democracy. SSI offers opportunities for those who want to contribute to solving a vital technical challenge.

Former OpenAI members criticize the company’s safety practices, leading to key resignations and the formation of new teams under CEO Sam Altman’s control. These actions have sparked controversy and accusations of toxic culture, prompting changes in departure paperwork and non-disparagement agreements.
