Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, announces the formation of Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI) dedicated to developing safe superintelligent AI. SSI’s mission is to create safe superintelligence through revolutionary breakthroughs by a small team. The company stresses the importance of advancing safety measures alongside technological capabilities to mitigate AI risks.

Safe superintelligence aims to surpass human cognitive abilities in problem-solving, creativity, and social skills. SSI emphasizes the ethical and existential risks of advanced AI if not aligned with human values. The company’s singular focus on safety and insulation from commercial pressures distinguishes it in the field of AI development.

SSI establishes the world’s first straight-shot SSI lab and operates in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv. Founded by Ilya Sutskever, Daniel Gross, and Daniel Levy, the company invites others to join their urgent mission. This initiative follows Sutskever’s departure from OpenAI in May 2024.
