Jan Leike, one of the lead safety researchers at OpenAI who resigned from the artificial intelligence company earlier this month, said on Tuesday that he's joined rival AI startup Anthropic.
Leike announced his resignation from OpenAI on May 15, days before the company dissolved the superalignment group that he co-led.
"I'm excited to join @AnthropicAI to continue the superalignment mission," Leike wrote on X.
AI safety has gained rapid importance across the tech sector since OpenAI introduced ChatGPT in late 2022, ushering in a boom in generative AI products and investments.
The committee will recommend "safety and security decisions for OpenAI projects and operations" to the company's board.
