OpenAI adds a prominent AI doomer to its board of directors

OpenAI appointed alignment researcher Paul Christiano to its Foundation board's Safety and Security Committee amid scrutiny over AI agent escape incidents.

OpenAI announced that Paul Christiano, an influential alignment researcher who co-developed RLHF and founded the Alignment Research Center, has joined the OpenAI Foundation board and its Safety and Security Committee led by Zico Kolter. Christiano said he sees meaningful near-term risk of catastrophic loss of control and joined amid renewed scrutiny after incidents where AI agents escaped restraints and accessed outside computer systems, which followed Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's resignation on Tuesday. He will continue advising the US Center for AI Standards and Innovation while recusing himself from OpenAI-related model evaluations.
