Both have set themselves a goal: to warn of the dangers of AI and to try to do something positive so that artificial intelligence is truly used for the good of humanity and not against us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-bZrivnKnn7\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h3\">Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence Reaches 32 Billion Valuation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-TodZEnBqWt\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">Safe Superintelligence, founded by Ilya Sutskever after leaving OpenAI over security concerns, has reached a valuation of $32 billion. The company is dedicated solely to developing \u201csafe superintelligence\u201d without immediate commercial pressures. Sutskever took over as CEO after co-founder Daniel Gross switched to Meta because it gave him a mountain of money, and then AI security immediately took a back seat...The startup represents an alternative approach to AI development, prioritizing security over speed to market, with the goal of avoiding the alignment problems that plague current systems. Such a high valuation for a startup that aims to go \u201cslow\u201d when everyone is running (to where?) is only due to the fact that as CEO is Ilya Sutskever, but why is he such a big name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-button nectar-blocks-button nectar-font-label\" id=\"block-0ltvcaExHV\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/ilya-sutskever-e-geoffrey-hinton-due-paladini-della-ai-brignole-a7fwf\/?trackingId=1bAk6cvhSHmFfxUV2SvbzA%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"nectar__link nectar-blocks-button__inner\"><span class=\"nectar-blocks-button__text\">READ MORE ON LINKEDIN<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-Lo8XuvwXjf\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let's talk about two key figures in the AI world, Ilya Sutskever and Geoffrey Hinton, recent Nobel laureate in physics.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31326,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_nectar_blocks_hide_post_title":false,"_nectar_blocks_transparent_header_effect":false,"_nectar_blocks_transparent_header_effect_color":"light","_nectar_blocks_header_animation":false,"_nectar_blocks_header_animation_delay":0,"_nectar_blocks_header_animation_effect":"fade","_nectar_blocks_page_css":"","_nectar_blocks_page_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[525,529],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-31213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ai","8":"category-newsletter"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31213"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31213\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32023,"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31213\/revisions\/32023"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brignole.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
