OpenAI said on Thursday that it is adding former NSA head and retired Gen. Paul Nakasone to its board of directors as well as its newly formed Safety and Security Committee.
Why it matters: OpenAI is looking to convince skeptics that it is taking sufficient steps to ensure its models are safe as it works toward its goal of super intelligence.
What they're saying: "Artificial Intelligence has the potential to have huge positive impacts on people's lives, but it can only meet this potential if these innovations are securely built and deployed," OpenAI board chair Bret Taylor said in a statement.
The other side: Several former high-ranking OpenAI employees have criticized the company for prioritizing speed over safety, including Jan Leike, who helped lead the company's long-term safety work, dubbed "superalignment."
