Safe Superintelligence (SSI), co-founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, has secured $1 billion in funding to develop advanced AI systems with a focus on safety. The startup, founded just three months ago, aims to build AI that surpasses human capabilities while addressing concerns about potential risks.
OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever has announced his departure from the company after nine years. Sutskever played a crucial role in OpenAI’s development and success, and his departure marks a significant change within the organization. The company is currently transitioning to a new phase of leadership under the guidance of Sama, GDB, Miramurati, and Merettm. Despite his departure, Sutskever remains confident in OpenAI’s mission to develop safe and beneficial AGI. OpenAI recently released GPT-4o, an enhanced version of its artificial intelligence technology, and Sutskever’s departure coincides with this significant milestone.
