William Saunders, a former safety researcher at OpenAI, has raised concerns about the company's approach to AI development. On July 10, Saunders, who was part of OpenAI's Superalignment team, resigned because he believed the company's leaders were prioritizing speed and the creation of 'newer, shinier' AI systems over safety. He compared this approach to 'building the Titanic,' warning that GPT-5 could pose significant risks. Saunders highlighted that many within OpenAI think the company could be three years away from creating something potentially dangerous, emphasizing that the fundamental workings of AI remain poorly understood.
