OpenAI dissolves AGI preparation team
OpenAI is disbanding its "AGI Readiness" team, whose members will be reassigned to other teams at OpenAI. The team was responsible for assessing OpenAI's ability to handle increasingly powerful AI technologies and assessing the world's readiness for such technologies.
It is reported that Miles Brundage, the chief consultant of the AGI Readiness team, announced his departure in a Substack post. He said that the main reason for his departure was that he believed that his external research could have a greater impact, the opportunity cost was too high, and he wanted to reduce bias. He believed that his goals at OpenAI had been achieved.
