OpenAI’s former head of “superalighment,” Jan Leike, who resigned over OpenAI’s approach to safety, announced that he is joining Amazon-backed AI startup Anthropic.
“I’m excited to join @AnthropicAI to continue the superalignment mission! My new team will work on scalable oversight, weak-to-strong generalization, and automated alignment research. If you’re interested in joining, my dms are open,” he posted on X on Tuesday.
Anthropic is the company behind the Claude family of models, out of which Claude 3 Opus is the most powerful.
Leike announced on May 15 that he was resigning from OpenAI, and claimed that the safety culture at the company was no longer a priority while “shiny new products” were being released.
