OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever says he will leave the startup

OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever said Tuesday that he's leaving the Microsoft-backed startup.

The Wall Street Journal and other media outlets reported that Sutskever trained his focus on ensuring that artificial intelligence would not harm humans, while others, including Altman, were instead more eager to push ahead with delivering new technology. In March, OpenAI announced its new board and the wrap-up of an internal investigation by U.S. law firm WilmerHale into the events leading up to Altman's ouster. News of Sutskever's departure comes a day after OpenAI launched a new AI model and desktop version of ChatGPT, along with an updated user interface, the company's latest effort to expand use of its popular chatbot.
