Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, has launched a new company called Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), which aims to develop safe superintelligence. Sutskever's new venture focuses exclusively on creating superintelligent AI that prioritizes safety. The company is co-founded by Daniel Gross, a former Apple AI executive, and Daniel Levy, who worked with Sutskever at OpenAI. SSI's mission is to advance AI capabilities rapidly while ensuring safety measures are always ahead. This initiative marks a significant shift from OpenAI's approach, emphasizing the importance of superintelligence safety in the AI industry. The company aims for a straight-shot to superintelligence with no near-term products, highlighting a departure from revenue-driven models.
