An AI researcher by training, Leike said he believes there should be more focus on preparing for the next generation of AI models, including on things like safety and analyzing the societal impacts of such technologies.
Leike's resignation came after OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever said Tuesday that he was leaving the company after nearly a decade.
Sutskever was one of four board members last fall who voted to push out CEO Sam Altman - only to quickly reinstate him.
It was Sutskever who told Altman last November that he was being fired, but he later said he regretted doing so.
Sutskever said he is working on a new project that's meaningful to him without offering additional details.
He will be replaced by Jakub Pachocki as chief scientist.
On Monday, OpenAI showed off the latest update to its artificial intelligence model, which can mimic human cadences in its verbal responses and can even try to detect people's moods.
