Anthropic hires former OpenAI safety lead to head up new team
TechCrunchJUN 3 2024
OpenAI focuses more on short-term commercial and societal success than long-term AI safety. That's why Leike and other high-profile researchers are moving from that company to different employment opportunities where they can create more safety-conscious AI models.
OpenAI has developed a new safety and security team to address the challenges associated with the technology. With or without its founders or former executives, the company will continue to evaluate and develop AI's safeguards as it works on its next AI model.
