AI Safety Leaders Exit OpenAI | Tech News

Jan Leike, a top AI safety figure from OpenAI, has jumped ship to Anthropic, joining a wave of safety-focused leaders exiting OpenAI ahead of its IPO. Former colleagues Miles Brundage and Steven Adler have launched their own non-profits to push for stricter AI safety protocols. Inside OpenAI, the Superalignment team has dissolved, and key figures like Achiam have shifted roles, signaling a major reorganization since ChatGPT’s breakout. The company is now pushing for tighter integration between research and policy teams, even bringing in former White House AI advisor Dean Ball to bridge the gap. With safety experts moving out and internal structures shifting, the race to align AI with human values is becoming more fragmented—and more urgent.
