Ilya Sutskever, former chief scientist at OpenAI, recently revealed that she is starting a new artificial intelligence company.
At a time when some of the biggest tech companies are looking to dominate the generative AI boom, the company is focused on creating a safe AI environment. The company is called Safe Superintelligence.
"SSI is our mission, our name, and our entire product roadmap because it is our sole focus. Our team, investors, and business model are all committed to making SSI a reality. We treat safety and capability as technical issues that are solved through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs. We plan to increase our capabilities as quickly as possible while ensuring that our security remains ahead of the curve. This way, we can scale up with peace of mind. ”
"We're focused on one thing, which means there's no disruption from overheads or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all unaffected by short-term commercial pressures."
与Ilya Sutskever 一起创立Safe Superintelligence的还有前OpenAI研究员Daniel Levy和Cue联合创始人、前苹果人工智能主管Daniel Gross。
Ilya Sutskever said: "We will pursue the superintelligence of safety in one breath, with only one focus, one goal and one product. We will achieve this through a small, lean team that makes a revolutionary breakthrough. ”
In November 2023, OpenAI had a management "earthquake". OpenAI's board of directors announced that Sam Altman is stepping down as CEO and leaving the company, with CTO Mira Murati as interim CEO. Just a week later, the turmoil ended with Sam Altman returning to the company as CEO. Upon Altman's return, Ilya Sutskever was removed from the company's board of directors.
The driving force behind the storm is believed to be Ilya Sutskever, because OpenAI, under Sam Altman's leadership, transformed into a closed-source entity with an exclusive partnership with Microsoft to use the technology for commercial purposes, contrary to the original purpose of the nonprofit.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said, "Ilya has a good moral yardstick in her heart, not only power." Unless he felt absolutely necessary, he would not have acted so drastically. ”
以下是Safe Superintelligence博客内容：
Superintelligence is within reach.
Building safe superintelligence (SSI) is the most important technical problem of our time.
We have started the world’s first straight-shot SSI lab, with one goal and one product: a safe superintelligence.
It’s called Safe Superintelligence Inc.
SSI is our mission, our name, and our entire product roadmap, because it is our sole focus. Our team, investors, and business model are all aligned to achieve SSI.
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.
This way, we can scale in peace.
Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures.
We are an American company with offices in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv, where we have deep roots and the ability to recruit top technical talent.
We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.
If that’s you, we offer an opportunity to do your life’s work and help solve the most important technical challenge of our age.
Now is the time. Join us.
