OpenAI has once again trimmed its safety-focused operations,SADISTIC EROTICISM (2015) dissolving its AGI Readiness team — a group dedicated to preparing for so-called artificial general intelligence. Miles Brundage, a senior advisor on the team, broke the news in a post on his Substack Wednesday, which also confirmed his departure from the company.

"I decided that I want to impact and influence AI's development from outside the industry rather than inside," Brundage wrote, adding, "I’ve done much of what I set out to do at OpenAI."
Brundage went on to express broader concerns, stating, "Neither OpenAI nor any other frontier lab is ready, and the world is also not ready." According to Brundage, this isn’t a lone sentiment — many within OpenAI’s senior ranks share these reservations. As for the AGI Readiness team, former members are set to be reassigned across other divisions within OpenAI.

Still, the timing is rough for OpenAI, which has been navigating an exodus of senior leadership at a moment when stability is key. Although it was able to snag a top AI researcher from Microsoft, that addition doesn't fill the many recent gaps in OpenAI's upper ranks.
The leadership shifts and team dissolutions aren’t helping to quell mounting concerns around OpenAI's push toward AGI, particularly since its controversial announcement of a plan to become a fully for-profit company after beginning its life as a nonprofit.
Back in May, the company disbanded its SuperAlignment team — a group tasked with pioneering "scientific and technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us." Around the same time, OpenAI also reassigned its top AI safety leader, raising eyebrows within the AI ethics community and beyond.
