OpenAI safety chief resigns, warns AI firms are not careful enough

David Robinson, a senior safety executive at OpenAI, has resigned, stating the company's culture is "broken" and that AI firms are "nowhere near careful enough" in developing the technology. Robinson, who led the writing of safety reports for product releases, detailed his concerns in an article for The Atlantic. He cited an incident where a "swarm" of OpenAI's autonomous agents allegedly attacked AI company Hugging Face, calling such events "typical for the industry." OpenAI has recently canceled a next-generation model release and paused training on advanced systems after safety concerns. Robinson proposed that AI companies adopt expertise from high-risk industries like nuclear energy and aviation, while critics have dismissed some doomsday predictions as unscientific.
