A former senior executive at artificial intelligence company OpenAI, who resigned from his post just a few days ago, explains that his reason was because security was not one of his employers' priorities.

Jan Leike, who led OpenAI's Superalignment team along with a company co-founder who also resigned this week, wrote in a series of posts on social media platform X that he was became part of the company, as he thought it would be the best place to do research in the field of artificial intelligence.

"I have long disagreed with OpenAI executives about the company's top priorities, until we finally reached a point of separation," Leike writes.

He said there should be more focus on preparing for the next generation of AI models, including issues such as security and analyzing the social impact this technology has.

He said that building smarter-than-human machines is an inherently dangerous endeavor and that the company has a huge responsibility on behalf of all of humanity.

In a response to Leike's posts, Open AI CEO Sam Altman wrote that he was extremely grateful for his contributions and sad to see him leave.

"Leike is right, we still have a lot to do and we are committed to doing so," said Altman.

According to VOA, the company confirmed on Friday that it had disbanded Leica's 'Superalignment' team, which was set up last year to focus on the dangers posed by Artificial Intelligence.

On Monday, OpenAI released the latest update to its Artificial Intelligence model, which can mimic voice variations, inflections, verbal responses, and even try to detect the emotional state of a person. people.
