OpenAI says it’s training the next frontier model, according to a press release on Tuesday, and anticipates it will bring the startup one step closer to artificial intelligence systems that are generally smarter than humans. The company also announced a new Safety and Security Committee to guide critical safety and security decisions, led by CEO Sam Altman and other OpenAI board members.
Toner and McCauley write that senior leaders told them Altman cultivated “a toxic culture of lying” at OpenAI. Just last week, Scarlett Johansson seemed to call Altman’s trustworthiness into question as the company created a voice that sounded just like her. Altman, Chair Bret Taylor, and board members Adam D’Angelo and Nicole Seligman will lead the Safety and Security Committee.
