OpenAI on Tuesday said it created a safety and security committee led by senior executives, after disbanding its previous oversight board in mid-May.
The new committee will be responsible for recommending to OpenAI’s board “critical safety and security decisions for OpenAI projects and operations,” the company said.
News of the new committee comes as the developer of the ChatGPT virtual assistant announced that it has begun training its “next frontier model.”
The firm said in a blog post that it anticipates the “resulting systems to bring us to the next level of capabilities on our path to AGI,” or artificial general intelligence, a kind of AI that is as smart or smarter than humans.
