This week’s 5 top stories you can't miss:
1️⃣ [AI regulation] OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, has left OpenAI’s internal Safety and Security Committee (SSC)—which was created in May to oversee critical safety decisions—as part of a move by OpenAI to turn the committee into an “independent” board oversight group.
Carnegie Mellon professor, Zico Kolter, will now chair the group, and all the other members are on OpenAI’s board of directors, which is raising questions about how ‘independent’ the group will be.
It looks like OpenAI is following in Meta’s footsteps (Meta has an Oversight Board that reviews all content policy decisions) although interestingly, none of its members are on Meta’s board of directors.
OpenAI’s Oversight Board will “continue to receive regular reports on technical assessments for current and future models,” and will be able to delay the release of models until safety concerns are addressed.
Why you should care:
Altman's departure and the restructure of the SSC comes after five US Senators sent an open letter to Altman, questioning him about his approach to safety and security, almost half of OpenAI’s staff—who were working on mitigating long-term risks—quit this year, and multiple ex-OpenAI staff have accused Altman of opposing AI regulation in favor of advancing corporate objectives, which perhaps should come as no surprise as the company budgeted $800,000 (vs $260,000 last year) for federal lobbying.
2️⃣ [AI chip] Intel + Amazon: Game-changing partnership?
