Bianca Martin, former Chief of Staff to OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has joined the OpenAI Foundation full-time to focus on AI Resilience under Wojciech Zaremba. Martin, who joined OpenAI in 2019, helped develop the GPT-3 researcher access program and the deployment tactics manual. The foundation, now valued at over $180 billion, is transitioning its long-term investments in safety and social risk to its nonprofit structure. It plans to allocate at least $10 billion over the next year to AI resilience, life sciences, the employment economy, and community initiatives, balancing risk-to-reward ratios across its strategic priorities.

AIMPACT update, May 19 (UTC+8): According to monitoring by Beating, Bianca Martin has announced her full-time transition to the OpenAI Foundation, joining the AI Resilience project led by co-founder Wojciech Zaremba. Prior to this move, she served as Chief of Staff to former CTO Mira Murati and specialized in emerging technology risks within the AGI Readiness team. Martin joined OpenAI in 2019 and contributed to drafting the company’s first deployment playbook, as well as helping launch the researcher access program accompanying GPT-3. Her internal memo confirmed that this program formed the foundation for OpenAI’s later red-teaming efforts. Currently, the OpenAI Foundation is establishing new core initiatives. As announced in March, the Foundation plans to invest at least $1 billion over the next year, allocating funds across four areas: life sciences, employment economics, community projects, and the newly added AI Resilience. The initial priorities of the AI Resilience project include child AI safety, biosecurity, and independent model testing and standard-setting. In addition to expanding its scope, the Foundation has also updated its financial valuation. Following its restructuring in October last year, the Foundation retained a 26% equity stake in the OpenAI commercial entity, valued at approximately $130 billion at the time; after new funding in February this year, the official valuation of this stake has surpassed $180 billion. Martin’s transition to the $180 billion-valued Foundation signals that OpenAI is shifting certain long-term societal risk and safety initiatives under the umbrella of its nonprofit parent organization.
