OpenAI board member says safety is not keeping pace with AI risk
Paul Christiano, newly appointed to OpenAI’s nonprofit board, says the company is not on track to reduce the risk of a catastrophic loss of control to an acceptable level. He will also join the committee overseeing safety and security across OpenAI, giving the warning direct governance relevance. Christiano said rapid capability gains could create an irreversible risk “in the very near term.”
