According to PANews, OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever announced the establishment of a new artificial intelligence startup Safe Superintelligence (SSI) on Wednesday. Sutskever said the new company will directly pursue safe superintelligence, with only one focus, one goal and one product.
Sutskever co-founded the new company with Daniel Gross, who previously led Apple's AI efforts, and Daniel Levy, a former OpenAI employee. The company has offices in California and Tel Aviv.
Sutskever served as OpenAI's chief scientist and co-led the company's super alignment team with Jan Leike. Jan Leike also left in May this year to join OpenAI's competitor Anthropic. OpenAI's super alignment team was subsequently disbanded.
