Jan Leike says he believes there should be more focus on preparing for the next generation of AI models, including on things like safety and analyzing the societal impacts of such technologies

A former OpenAI leader who resigned from the company earlier this week said on Friday that safety has “taken a back seat to shiny products” at the influential artificial intelligence company.

“However, I have been disagreeing with OpenAI leadership about the company’s core priorities for quite some time, until we finally reached a breaking point,” wrote Leike, whose last day was Thursday. “OpenAI must become a safety-first AGI company,” wrote Leike using the abbreviated version of artificial general intelligence, a futuristic vision of machines that are as broadly smart as humans or at least can do many things as well as people can.
