Former OpenAI Co-founder Ilya Sutskever launches a new AI firm
Within a month of leaving ChatGPT, Ilya Sutskever, one of the co-founders of AI startup OpenAI, founded a new business named Safe Superintelligence Inc (SSI). The Sam Altman-run startup saw Sutskever and Jan Leike depart in May of last year following a disagreement with OpenAI's leadership. Google and Amazon have invested in the competing AI startup Anthropic, where Leike currently leads a team.
Sutskever stated that "SSI is our mission, our name, and our entire product roadmap, because it is our sole focus" in a post on the social networking site X. "We plan to advance capabilities as fast as possible while making sure our safety always remains ahead. This way, we can scale in peace," read the post. "Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures," it added.
Top Engineers and Researchers
A crack team of the top engineers and researchers in the world who are committed to SSI alone are being hired by the firm. "If that’s you, we offer an opportunity to do your life’s work and help solve the most important technical challenge of our age," said the company.
The launch of Safe Superintelligence Inc by Ilya Sutskever marks a significant development in the AI industry. As the co-founder of OpenAI, Sutskever brings a wealth of experience and expertise to his new venture. With a focus on safety, security, and progress, SSI aims to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence while ensuring responsible and ethical development.
