BlackRock, in partnership with Microsoft, is set to launch a massive $30 billion investment fund focused on developing AI infrastructure.

New OpenAI Safety Board Gains Authority to Halt Model Releases

In a surprising move, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has resigned from the company's Safety and Security Committee, responsible for overseeing key AI safety decisions.

Details:

  • The committee will become an independent oversight board, chaired by Zico Kolter, with members Adam D'Angelo, Paul Nakasone, and Nicole Seligman.

  • It can delay model launches over safety concerns and will get regular updates on safety evaluations.

  • This change follows scrutiny of OpenAI's policies and reports of new funding that could impact its structure and profits.

As OpenAI evolves, questions persist about self-governance's effectiveness in balancing AI safety and commercial interests.
