OpenAI removes Aleksander Madry from safety executive role, places him in new AI reasoning position

As a seasoned gamer and tech enthusiast who has kept a close eye on the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), I find OpenAI’s recent executive shuffle particularly intriguing, especially given the heightened concerns surrounding AI safety and copyright issues.


OpenAI, the tech firm responsible for text-to-video model Sora and chatbot ChatGPT among other innovations, has shuffled its leadership team. Aleksander Madry, previously serving as safety executive, has been reassigned to a new role focused on AI reasoning.

On July 23, 2024, according to insider sources who spoke to CNBC, OpenAI shifted Aleksander Madry from his executive role overseeing artificial intelligence safety to a new position focusing on AI reasoning. However, OpenAI confirmed to CNBC that Madry would continue working on core AI safety issues.

At present, the shift in responsibilities is significant as regulatory bodies and creative professionals grapple with pressing concerns over the safety of artificial intelligence and copyright matters.

As a seasoned cybersecurity professional with years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but be alarmed by the latest revelation that Russian, Iranian, Chinese, and North Korean hacking groups have been exploiting Microsoft’s AI products. It’s disheartening to see such sophisticated threats targeting technology designed to make our lives easier and more productive.

Yesterday, there was news that Conde Nast issued a cease-and-desist order to Perplexity, asking them to halt the use of Conde Nast’s content in their AI-generated responses. This incident comes after numerous copyright disputes in the tech industry over training AI models on human-created material.

With OpenAI being a prominent player in the artificial intelligence industry, shifts among its executive team are sure to raise eyebrows. Let’s hope that the company remains committed to ensuring the safe and ethical use of AI, adhering to all relevant regulations.
