OpenAI's co-founder, llya Sutskever starting a new company called SSI, Safe Superintelligence aiming to create a safe, powerful AI system.
> Ilya Sutskever says:
This company is special in that its first product will be the safe superintelligence, and it will not do anything else up until then. And By safe, we mean safe like nuclear safety as opposed to safe as in 'trust and safety,'> He says that the LLMs that have dominated AI will play an important role within Safe Superintelligence but that it’s aiming for something far more powerful. With current systems, he says, “you talk to it, you have a conversation, and you’re done.” The system he wants to pursue would be more general-purpose & expansive in its abilities.
You’re talking about a giant super data center that’s autonomously developing technology. That’s crazy, right? It’s the safety of that that we want to contribute to.”
