OpenAI founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman go on the defensive after top safety researchers quit | The departures sparked concern about OpenAI's commitment to ensuring AI doesn't destroy the world


OpenAI's Sam Altman and Greg Brockman spoke out about the company's approach to safety after high-level departures this week.

Sutskever and Leike led OpenAI's super alignment team, which was focused on developing AI systems compatible with human interests. But as public concern continued to mount, Brockman offered more details on Saturday about how OpenAI will approach safety and risk moving forward — especially as it develops artificial general intelligence and builds AI systems that are more sophisticated than chatbots. But not everyone is convinced that the OpenAI team is moving ahead with development in a way that ensures the safety of humans, least of all, it seems, the people who, up to a few days ago, led the company's effort in that regard.
