The Chief Futureist of OpenAI, Joshua Achiam, left: the AGI mission is not just within the laboratory walls

OpenAI Chief Futureist Joshua Achiam announced that he would leave the company on the last day of the 24th of this month. On X, he made public a farewell letter to internal Slack stating that there was no specific reason for leaving, nor was it triggered by a certain point of time, but that after a period of time, he thought that he could now continue the security AGI mission outside the forward laboratory. Achiam joined OpenAI as an intern in 2017, followed by a long-term AI security study and a former head of the Mission Alignment Team. In February this year, after the OpenAI team was disbanded, he was transferred to the Chief Futureist to study the social, policy and security implications of AGI and stronger AI. In his farewell letter, he said that the past nine years had been like "a decade of change for centuries" and that the future depended on the common choices made around AGI and super-smart. OpenAI has not yet announced who will take over this role. Achiam is another head of security that OpenAI has left in recent years。
