Former OpenAI employee, William Saunders, recently revealed that he left the company due to concerns over its approach to safety. Likening the AI firm to the doomed Titanic, Saunders criticized the company's focus on product development over implementing adequate safety measures. This comes amid other high-profile departures and criticism, including from estranged co-founder Elon Musk, who briefly sued the company. Saunders' comments raise questions about the potential risks posed by AI systems like OpenAI's ChatGPT, and whether the industry is adequately prepared for them.
