OpenAI's AGI czar quits, saying the company isn't ready for what it's building

OpenAI's Miles Brundage, the researcher overseeing AGI readiness, has resigned, stating that neither the company nor the world is prepared for AGI's arrival.

He expressed that he wishes to influence AI's development from outside the industry. In his post, he declared, "In short, neither OpenAI nor any other frontier lab is ready, and the world is also not ready." Brundage emphasized that AGI is a complex concept with varying levels rather than a binary state.

He noted that OpenAI's AGI team is being reassigned, and this follows recent changes to the company's structure, including the dissolution of its AI safety team.
