OpenAI's safety systems lead, Johannes Heidecke, is departing as the company restructures its safety and research teams, merging them more closely together. Mia Glaese will step in as the VP of Research and Safety for this combined team.
Commenter Miles Brundage believes that the fact such personnel changes become mainstream news is itself a policy failure, urging the industry to quickly establish unified safety and auditing standards.
