The superalignment team at OpenAI has been disbanded less than a year after it was created to ensure super intelligent AI doesn’t get out of human control. It comes after senior figures left the firm.
OpenAI has dissolved its superalignment team according to a person who works at the company. The superalignment team was set up last year with the job of finding a way to keep human control over an AI that eventually becomes smarter than us.
Some of the team members who were working on this have been moved to several other teams throughout the company. The news comes after senior OpenAI members Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike left the company.
Leike announced his resignation on Twitter and said that the safety culture at the company had taken a backseat with it becoming more of a struggle for the team to get compute resources to do their work.
