OpenAI Forms Another Safety Committee After Dismantling Prior Team

Open AI is forming a safety and security committee led by company directors Bret Taylor, Adam D'Angelo, Nicole Seligman, and CEO Sam Altman.
The committee is being formed to make recommendations to the full board on safety measures and security decisions for OpenAI projects and operations.
The group is first tasked with evaluating and developing the company's processes and safeguards for the next 90 days, after which the committee will share its recommendations with the board to be reviewed before being shared with the public.
The formation of the committee comes after Jan Leike, a former OpenAI safety executive, resigned from the company due to criticisms of underinvestment in safety work, as well as tensions with leadership.
Ilia Kolochenko, cybersecurity expert and entrepreneur, raised his skepticism over how this change in the company ultimately will benefit society at large.
