David Robinson, a leader on OpenAI's Safety Systems team, has left the company. According to Business Insider, he resigned last week. Robinson had previously led policy planning at OpenAI and worked on safety transparency, including developing and sharing system cards that provide information about its models.

Robinson's departure adds to the upheaval in OpenAI's safety ranks. It comes after the company parted ways with three researchers who had violated its policies for sharing sensitive information. OpenAI is also grappling with a series of safety incidents in which its AI models have misbehaved.

The company is under scrutiny over its safety practices and staffing. Progress in model capabilities has led to calls for a slowdown in AI development. Robinson did not immediately respond to requests for comment on his departure.
