SAFETY

🚨 Altman quits OpenAI’s safety group

Our Report: OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, has left OpenAI’s internal Safety and Security Committee (SSC)—which was created in May to oversee critical safety decisions—as part of a move by OpenAI to turn the committee into an “independent” board oversight group.

🔑 Key Points:

• Carnegie Mellon professor, Zico Kolter, will now chair the group, and all the other members are on OpenAI’s board of directors, which is raising questions about how ‘independent’ the group will be.

• It looks like OpenAI is following in Meta’s footsteps (Meta has an Oversight Board that reviews all content policy decisions) although interestingly, none of its members are on Meta’s board of directors.

• OpenAI’s Oversight Board will “continue to receive regular reports on technical assessments for current and future models,” and will be able to delay the release of models until safety concerns are addressed.

🤔 Why you should care: Altman's departure and the restructure of the SSC comes after five US Senators sent an open letter to Altman, questioning him about his approach to safety and security, almost half of OpenAI’s staff—who were working on mitigating long-term risks—quit this year, and multiple ex-OpenAI staff have accused Altman of opposing AI regulation in favor of advancing corporate objectives, which perhaps should come as no surprise as the company budgeted $800,000 (vs $260,000 last year) for federal lobbying.

PARTNERSHIPS

🚀 Intel + Amazon: Game-changing partnership?

Our Report: To boost its struggling AI chip-making arm—Intel Foundry—Intel has announced a potentially game-changing partnership with Amazon’s cloud computing division (AWS), a new operating board for the subsidiary, and a $3.5B contract with the US government.

🔑 Key Points:

• Intel Foundry will co-develop an AI chip and new processor with AWS, calling the partnership a “multi-year, multi-billion-dollar framework” that shows “the progress we’re making to build a world-class foundry business.”

• The announcement comes after they revealed (the same day) that they have also signed a $3.5B contract from the US government’s CHIPS and Science fund to manufacture AI chips for the US military.

• Plus, it’s also pausing the build of chip factories in Poland ($4.6B project) and Germany ($36B project) for two years, and reducing its chip operations in Malaysia, “based on anticipated market demand.”

🤔 Why you should care: All this is part of Intel Foundry’s $10B cost-reduction plan—which involved laying off over 15,000 employees by the end of this year—as it faced a year of losses, including a $1.6B loss over the first two quarters and a failed partnership with Sony (rumored to have cost $30B), and as a result, it saw its share price rise by 6% as the markets closed, yesterday.

ENVIRONMENT

🚒 Google stops wildfires with AI 

• Google has partnered with wildlife authorities to launch FireSat, an AI-powered platform that can detect and track wildfires (the size of a classroom), providing real-time location, intensity, and size information.

• It’s provided $13M to develop infrared sensors for the satellite, which takes high-res images (every 20 minutes) and uses AI to compare locations with previous imagery, infrastructure, and local weather data, to detect fires.

• Currently, firefighters use satellite imagery to detect/monitor wildfires, but the imagery is often poor quality and not regularly updated, making it hard to detect fires until they are too big and out of control.
