OpenAI is establishing a new safety committee as it begins training its next big AI model.
Why it matters: The buzzy AI startup has seen a number of key departures in recent weeks, with several employees complaining that it has not been devoting promised safety resources.
Driving the news: OpenAI's new safety and security committee will be led by outside chairman Bret Taylor, along with board members Adam D'Angelo, Nicole Seligman and Sam Altman.
The group's first task: Evaluate and improve OpenAI's processes and safeguards over the next 90 days.
It plans to retain and consult with a range of outside safety and security experts.
Yes, but: The new committee is advisory, with the ability to make recommendations to the board.
OpenAI also confirmed that it has started training its next big large language model.
CTO Mira Murati told Axios earlier this month that a major update to the company's underlying model is due to be unveiled later this year.
