Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI co-founder and former chief scientist, is founding a new safety-focused AI company. in Post on Wednesday, Sutskever unveiled Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), a startup with “one goal, one product:” creating a safe and robust AI system.
the advertisement SSI describes it as a startup that “deals with safety and capabilities hand-in-hand,” allowing the company to quickly develop its AI system while still prioritizing safety. He also calls out the external pressure faced by AI teams at companies like OpenAI, Google and Microsoft, saying the company’s “single focus” allows it to avoid “distraction by administrative overhead or product cycles.”
“Our business model means that safety, security and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures,” the ad said. “This way, we can expand in peace.” In addition to Sutskever, SSI is co-founded by Daniel Gross, a former AI leader at Apple, and Daniel Levy, who previously served as a member of the technical staff at OpenAI.
As OpenAI moves forward with partnerships with apple And MicrosoftWe probably won’t see SSI doing that any time soon. during meeting with BloombergSutskever says SSI’s first product will be secure superintelligence, and that the company “won’t do anything else” until then.
