OpenAI disbands another team focused on advanced AGI safety readiness

OpenAI has shut down its AGI Readiness Team, a group responsible for developing safeguards around advanced artificial intelligence systems.

The team focused on the safety of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which OpenAI defines in economic terms as AI systems capable of operating autonomously and automating a wide range of human tasks. Miles Brundage, OpenAI's outgoing Senior Advisor for AGI Readiness, expresses serious concerns about this development as he announces his departure from the company. Brundage points to significant gaps in AI oversight, noting that tech companies have strong financial motivations to resist effective regulation.
