Dave Willner, OpenAI's head of trust and safety, stepped down from his role. Dave Willner, the head of trust and safety OpenAI, announced on Thursday in a LinkedIn post that he is stepping down from his executive role at the company to prioritize his work-life balance. "OpenAI is going through a high-intensity phase in its development — and so are our kids," Willner wrote in his LinkedIn post. Jeff Bezos, Amazon's CEO, rejects the phrase "work-life balance" all together, as it implies a trade-off between life and work.

Willner’s exit comes as OpenAI continues to work with regulators in the United States and elsewhere to develop guardrails around fast-advancing AI technology. OpenAI was among seven leading AI companies that on Friday made voluntary commitments agreed to by the White House meant to make AI systems and products safer and more trustworthy. As part of the pledge, the companies agreed to put new AI systems through outside testing before they are publicly released, and to clearly label AI-generated content, the White House announced.

STOCKHOLM, July 21 (Reuters) - OpenAI's head of trust and safety Dave Willner is leaving the company, he said in a LinkedIn post on Friday, citing the pressures of the job on his family life and saying he would be available for advisory work. Willner took over his role at OpenAI in February last year, after working at Airbnb and Facebook. He attributed his decision to quit to growing demands from his job affecting his family life.

Dave Willner has had a front-row seat to the evolution of the worst things on the internet. He started working at Facebook in 2008, back when social media companies were making up their rules as they went along. It didn’t take long in the job before Mr. Willner found himself considering a familiar threat. “I am not surprised that it was a thing that people would attempt to do,” Mr. Willner said. “But to be very clear, neither were the folks at OpenAI.”For all of the recent talk of the hypothetical existential risks of generative A.I., experts say it is this immediate threat — child predators using new A.I.
