OpenAI Employees Threaten To Quit

The board’s dysfunction spilled into public view when four of its members fired Sam Altman.

In a surprise on Friday. The board’s explanation that Altman had not been completely candid with them.

The coup was led by Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s chief scientist, who had butted heads with Altman. Sutskever wants the company to prioritize safety and was worried that Altman was more focused on growth.

Sutskever is among a faction of A.I. experts who are fearful that A.I. may soon surpass human abilities and become a threat to our survival.

In response, Microsoft OpenAI’s biggest investor and a major strategic partner offered to give Altman and his top lieutenant, Greg Brockman, a job running a new A.I. lab.

Nearly all of OpenAI’s roughly 770 employees signed a letter threatening to quit and go work for the new Microsoft team, unless the start-up’s board resigned and brought back Altman and Brockman.

In another surprise twist, Sutskever then had second thoughts. He wrote in a post on X on Monday that he deeply regretted having taken part in the ouster and that he had “never intended to harm OpenAI.”

AI as Judge and Executioner? Pentagon's New Direction

The Pentagon is advancing towards the deployment of AI-controlled drones capable of making autonomous decisions about killing human targets.

The Pentagon's plans include deploying swarms of thousands of AI-enabled drones.

There is a growing international debate over the ethical, legal, and security implications of these lethal autonomous weapons. Several governments are lobbying the United Nations for a binding resolution to restrict the use of AI killer drones.

As AI technology continues to advance, the international community faces a critical challenge in balancing the potential military advantages of autonomous weapons with the need for ethical and legal frameworks to govern their use.

The decisions made today will set precedents for the future of warfare, potentially reshaping the nature of conflict and the principles of international law and human rights.
