Safe Superintelligence Inc. or SSI Inc. is an American artificial intelligence company by Open AI's former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, Daniel Gross (former head of Apple AI) and Daniel Levy (Investor & AI Researcher). The company's mission is to focus on safely developing a superintelligence, an agent capable of surpassing human intelligence.[1][2][3][4]

History[edit]

On May 15, 2024, Ilya Sutskever left OpenAI, the company he co-founded, after a board dispute where he voted to fire Sam Altman amid concerns over communication and trust.[5][6] Mr Sutskever was one of many concerned that OpenAI was focusing too much on commercial possibilities of its technology rather than the safety issues it had been created to address. [7][8]

On June 19, 2024, Sutskever posted on X that he was starting SSI Inc, with the goal to safely develop superintelligent AI, alongside Daniel Levy, and Daniel Gross[9]
