According to Odaily Planet Daily, OpenAI announced the establishment of a new research team last July to prepare for the arrival of superintelligence, which can outsmart and overwhelm its creators. Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's chief scientist and one of the company's co-founders, was appointed as the co-leader of this new team, which will receive 20% of its computing power.
Now OpenAI’s “super alignment team” has been disbanded, the company confirmed. Prior to this, several researchers involved in it had already left, with news on Tuesday that Sutskever would leave the company, and another co-leader of the team also resigned. The team’s work will be integrated into OpenAI’s other research efforts.
