Safe Superintelligence: Sutskever's Next AI Adventure

Can AI ever truly be safe, or is this just another PR stunt?

Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's former chief scientist, has launched Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), a startup solely dedicated to developing safe superintelligence. SSI promises to prioritize safety over commercial pressures, contrasting with companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft (basicall all Big Tech), which Sutskever criticizes for being distracted by management and product cycles.

Alongside co-founders Daniel Gross from Apple and Daniel Levy from OpenAI, Sutskever aims to create an AI system that advances capabilities rapidly while ensuring safety remains paramount.

Sutskever's departure from OpenAI followed internal disputes over safety concerns, leading to the resignation of other key figures. SSI’s commitment to focusing on a single goal is seen as a response to these issues. However, as the AI race intensifies, will SSI's focus on safety set a new standard, or is it merely a reactionary move against its more commercially driven competitors?

Can SSI balance rapid AI advancement with the rigorous safety standards it promises to uphold?
