OpenAI, the leading AI research organization, is facing internal challenges as almost half of its team dedicated to mitigating risks associated with super-intelligent AI has departed. This exodus, highlighted by a former researcher, raises concerns about the organization’s ability to manage the potential dangers of advanced AI systems. The disbanded team was instrumental in ensuring AI safety, but recent shifts in OpenAI’s focus have led to instability within the group, putting the long-term safety of AI developments into question.
