据报道，OpenAI 已解散其准备团队，这是该公司在筹备大规模首次公开募股（IPO）之际，内部动荡中的最新变化。在过去几年中，OpenAI 逐步放弃了其以研究为主导的模式，解散了其 AGI 准备和超级对齐团队。包括于 2024 年从 OpenAI 辞职的 Jan Leike 在内的批评者表示，该公司正在忽视安全，转而专注于创造“光鲜的产品”。…

The job of the preparedness team was to assess if models posed serious risks and develop ways to mitigate those risks. (You know, like the possibility that it could go rogue and hack another company.) According to FT , responsibility has instead been divided up for specific areas like bio and cyber, then moved into existing teams.

Over the last few years, it’s slowly torn down its more reach-led model, dissolving its AGI readiness and superalignment teams. Ethics lead Chloé Bakalar, Chief Futurist Josh Achiam, and head of safety Johannes Heidecke have all also left recently, leading some critics like Jan Leike, who resigned from OpenAI in 2024, to tell FT that the company was ignoring safety in favor of creating “shiny products.”
The head of the preparedness team, Dylan Scandinaro, who was poached from Anthropic in February , will now focus on the implications of “recursive self-improving” AI.
