As AI becomes more capable, I'm focused on questions around the pace and implications of progress, and how they should inform the strategy of OpenAI and across the field. I asked Aleksander to come back to OpenAI to work with me on these topics. I value his judgment and am glad to have him on the team again.

Jakub Pachocki says he asked Aleksander Madry to return to OpenAI to work on the pace and implications of AI progress and how they should shape OpenAI's strategy. Madry says he is rejoining as AI progress has entered a new regime in which safety and security must become a central priority.

Personal update: Turns out that what I thought was leaving OpenAI became more of a sabbatical. When I left a few months ago, I felt that the most important thing to focus on was making AI more useful to people. But we’ve since entered a different regime of AI progress. One in which getting the safety and security challenges of increasingly capable AI right has to become a central priority. So I’ll be returning to OpenAI, joining @merettm to help chart a path through these challenges. There’s much work to do, so let’s get going.View quoted post on X
