Ilya Sutskever, one of OpenAI\u2019s co-founders, has launched a new company, Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), just a month after leaving OpenAI. <\/p>\n
Sutskever, who was OpenAI\u2019s longtime chief scientist, founded SSI with former YC partner Daniel Gross and ex-OpenAI engineer Daniel Levy. <\/p>\n
At OpenAI, Sutskever was integral to the company\u2019s efforts to improve AI safety with the rise of \u201csuperintelligent\u201d AI systems, an area he worked on alongside Jan Leike. Yet both Sutskever<\/a> and then Leike<\/a> left the company dramatically in May after falling out with leadership at OpenAI over how to approach AI safety. Leike now heads a team at Anthropic. <\/p>\n Sutskever\u2019s been giving attention to the thornier aspects of AI safety for a long time now. In a blog post<\/a> published in 2023, he (writing with Leike) predicted that AI with intelligence exceeding that of humans could arrive within the decade\u2014and when it does, it won\u2019t necessarily be benevolent, necessitating research into ways to control and restrict it.<\/p>\n
