OpenAI disbands mission alignment team focused on AI safety
OpenAI has dissolved its mission alignment team, which was responsible for ensuring the safe and trustworthy development of advanced AI models. The team’s leader has been reassigned as the company’s new chief futurist, while other members have been distributed across different departments. The move reflects internal restructuring but also raises questions, as the alignment team had focused on long-term risks related to powerful AI systems.
This marks a significant shift in how OpenAI addresses AI safety, potentially impacting industry standards on responsible AI development.
