Anthropic hires former OpenAI safety lead to head up new team
Jan Leike, a leading AI researcher who earlier this month resigned from OpenAI before publicly criticizing the company's approach to AI safety, has joined OpenAI rival Anthropic to lead a new "superalignment" team. In a post on X, Leike said that his team at Anthropic will focus on various aspects of AI safety and security, specifically "scalable oversight," "weak-to-strong generalization" and automated alignment research. In many ways, Leike's team sounds similar in mission to OpenAI's recently-dissolved Superalignment team.
