I've joined the OpenAI Foundation to lead "AI Resources."
AI capabilities are increasing rapidly and society's ability to respond needs to scale just as fast. The same advances creating new challenges also expand what AI can do to address them. If we're going to have AI systems that "outperform humans at most economically valuable work" and "a country of geniuses in a datacenter", we want a meaningful share of those geniuses and that work pointed at the most important challenges.
At AI Resources we’ll focus on getting this AI workforce ready and into the right hands to do exactly that, under a range of future AI scenarios.
After thinking about this since the beginning of the year, I believe it's one of the highest-leverage interventions for making AI go well.
Excited to build this with
@woj_zaremba,
@yonashav, many others, and maybe you. We're hiring broadly across the Foundation, AI Resilience, and for my team. Roles should be online this week.
