OpenAI cofounder Ilaya Sutskever after quitting it announced a new AI startup Safe Superintelligence on June 19, 2024. It’s focus is safe superintelligence — one goal and one product. The company is abbreviated as SSI.

Sutskever was a part of OpenAI’s Super-alignment team with Jan Leike who too left the company along with him in May, 2024 to join Anthropic. Though the team was steering and controlling AI systems, it was dissolved shortly after both these gentlemen left.

The new startup wants to concentrate on safety, and wants to keep it immune to short-term commercial pressures.

His other associates in the new company are Daniel Gross(Apple AI) and Daniel Levy(OpenAI).
