Ilya Sutskever confirmed his transition to CEO at Safe Superintelligence, following the departure of Daniel Gross as of June 29. Gross's exit raises questions about the company's stability, particularly as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed interest in acquiring the startup. Sutskever stated that despite acquisition rumors, their focus remains on building safe superintelligence with their existing team and resources. Co-founder Daniel Levy will now serve as president, reinforcing the leadership structure as the company aims towards its groundbreaking technology objectives.
Safe Superintelligence describes themselves as the world's "first straight-shot SSI lab," meaning the company has no other products or ambitions outside of developing, well, safe superintelligence.
You might have heard rumors of companies looking to acquire us. We are flattered by their attention but are focused on seeing our work through,
We have the compute, we have the team, and we know what to do. Together we will keep building safe superintelligence.
Daniel Gross's time with us has been winding down, and as of June 29 he is officially no longer a part of SSI.
