OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever announces new startup to tackle safe superintelligence - Ken Yeung, Venture Beat

Ilya Sutskever has revealed what he’s working on next after stepping down in May as chief scientist at OpenAI. Along with his OpenAI colleague Daniel Levy and Apple’s former AI lead and Cue co-founder Daniel Gross, the trio announced they’re working on Safe Superintelligence Inc., a startup designed to build safe superintelligence. In a message posted to SSI’s currently barren website, the founders write that building safe superintelligence is “the most important technical problem of our time.” In addition, “we approach safety and capabilities in tandem, as technical problems to be solved through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs. We plan to advance capabilities as fast as possible while making sure our safety always remains ahead.”
