OpenAI safety writer quits, calling for nuclear-grade safeguards
David Robinson, who wrote safety reports for OpenAI’s major model releases, resigned and says frontier AI labs need a deeper culture change before building bigger systems. His proposed fix is operational: run labs more like nuclear power plants or busy airports, with redundant safeguards and slower planning so one human mistake does not open the door to disaster. He says he is the latest in a growing wave of AI safety departures.
