Ilya Sutskever is now the only remaining co-founder on OpenAI’s board of directors. He joined the company after receiving his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Toronto. After some time, he was a co-founder of a project called DNNResearch. After this, he worked as a research scientist at Google till the end of 2015. He was the initial research director of OpenAI and rose to become chief scientist. In July, OpenAI announced that Suskever was co-leading a team that would focus on OpenAI’s “superalignment”.
This will help develop technical solutions to monitor AI if it is to someday become smarter than humans. “If you value intelligence above all other human qualities, you will have a bad time,” Sutskever wrote in a recent post on social media platform
Helen Toner, director of strategy and basic research at Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology, joined OpenAI’s board of directors in September 2021. Brockman said in a statement at the time that he greatly valued Helen’s deep thinking about the long-term risks and impacts of AI.
