I am very grateful Aleksander accepted our request to come take this on; the safety and security challenges in front of us as we confront superintelligence are immense, and he has an excellent set of skills to work on this.

Quoting @aleks_madry: Personal update: Turns out that what I thought was leaving OpenAI became more of a sabbatical.

When I left a few months ago, I felt that the most important thing to focus on was making AI more useful to people. But we’ve since entered a different regime of AI progress. One in which getting the safety and security challenges of increasingly capable AI right has to become a central priority.

So I’ll be returning to OpenAI, joining @merettm to help chart a path through these challenges.

There’s much work to do, so let’s get going.
