ME AI News: According to monitoring by Beating, Yo Shavit, former Head of Frontier AI Safety Policy at OpenAI, has announced his departure to join the nonprofit parent organization, the OpenAI Foundation, full-time, where he will work on the “AI Resilience” project led by co-founder Wojciech Zaremba. One week before Shavit’s announcement, Bianca Martin, former Chief of Staff to OpenAI’s former CTO, had already announced her full-time transition to the Foundation. Shavit expressed a strong sense of urgency upon his departure, stating that there is significant preparation needed before the arrival of superintelligence, but time is running out, and he called for more safety talent to immediately shift their focus to assist. These two core executives, who have long led safety and governance efforts within OpenAI’s commercial entity, are now joining the Foundation: Shavit previously served as Head of Frontier AI Safety Policy, while Martin formerly held the role of Chief of Staff to the CTO and specialized in emerging technology risks within the AGI Readiness team. As a veteran employee who joined in 2019, Martin led the development of OpenAI’s first deployment playbook and helped launch the researcher access program accompanying GPT-3, laying the groundwork for OpenAI’s subsequent red-teaming initiatives. As safety teams continue to experience turnover and restructuring, the well-funded nonprofit parent organization is emerging as the new hub for safety research. (Source: BlockBeats)
