OpenAI's long-standing AI venture team has disbanded

OpenAI announced a new research team last July to prepare for the arrival of superintelligence that could outsmart and overwhelm its creators. Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's chief scientist and one of the company's co-founders, was named co-leader of the new team. OpenAI said the team would receive 20% of its computing power. Now OpenAI's "super alignment team" has been disbanded, the company confirmed. Prior to this, several researchers involved had left, and news on Tuesday said Sutskever would leave the company, and another co-leader of the team also resigned. The team's work will be integrated into OpenAI's other research efforts. (wired)
