OpenAI safety employee quits, says 'time for trial and error is over'
Writing in “I Quit OpenAI Because Its Culture Is Broken,” published by the Atlantic on Saturday, David Robinson said AI companies, including OpenAI, were not being “nearly careful enough”
A former OpenAI safety employee has resigned, criticizing the company's approach to AI safety and arguing that the fast-paced culture of rapid development increases the risk of failures. In an article published by The Atlantic, David Robinson claims that AI companies, including OpenAI, are not being "nearly careful enough" and should place greater emphasis on safety expertise and research before developing more capable systems.
Robinson, who spent 3-1/2 years at OpenAI and helped draft the company's preparedness framework, argues that the time for trial and error is over, and that advanced AI systems require safeguards more akin to those used in industries such as nuclear power and aviation.
