Almost half of OpenAI’s safety team has deserted the company in the past several months, according to whistleblower and former employee Daniel Kokotajlo.
The news comes just a week after several ex-staffers signed a letter calling out the company and its CEO, Sam Altman, for failing to take artificial intelligence risks seriously, specifically when it comes to the development of autonomous forms of AI like artificial general intelligence (AGI).
