OpenAI co-founder unveils new company focused on "safe superintelligence"

Zoom in: Safe Superintelligence, Inc. aims to "approach safety and capabilities in tandem, as technical problems to be solved through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs," the company's three founders say in a post on X.

• "Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures," he adds.

Sutskever founded the company alongside Daniel Gross, the former AI lead at Apple and a startup entrepreneur and investor, and Daniel Levy, "who built a strong reputation for training large AI models working alongside Sutskever at OpenAI," according to Bloomberg.

• The company has offices in Palo Alto, Calif. and in Tel Aviv.

Yes, but: Safe Superintelligence hasn't disclosed its investors, nor any details about its business model.

• OpenAI began as a non-profit research organization and eventually set up a for-profit subsidiary as its need for financing grew. Gross brushed off any concerns over Safe Superintelligence's ability to raise capital in an interview with Bloomberg.
