OpenAI has disbanded its Preparedness team, which was responsible for assessing catastrophic AI risks, and transferred its responsibilities to other existing groups within the company, according to The Decoder.
The move has led to several safety staff members leaving the company, reflecting internal concerns about the adequacy of OpenAI's efforts on AI safety, The Decoder reported.
For Japanese investors and market participants, this development highlights ongoing organizational challenges in managing AI risks, which could influence the broader technology sector's regulatory and innovation landscape.
