Ilya Sutskever, former co-founder and science chief at OpenAI, has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) company called Safe Superintelligence (SSI). The company aims to develop superintelligence while prioritizing safety through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs. SSI's focus on advancing capabilities rapidly while ensuring safety remains paramount sets it apart from other AI companies. With offices in Tel Aviv and Palo Alto, Sutskever is joined by co-founders Daniel Levy and Daniel Gross, both with extensive experience in the AI field. Sutskever's departure from OpenAI was amicable, but his new venture highlights the importance of AI safety in the development of superintelligence. The launch of SSI follows a recent pledge by AI companies to implement a "kill switch" policy, raising questions about its impact on innovation and competition in the AI industry.
