OpenAI said Tuesday it has established a new committee to make recommendations to the company鈥檚 board about safety and security, weeks after dissolving a team focused on AI safety.

In a , OpenAI said the new committee would be led by CEO Sam Altman as well as Bret Taylor, the company鈥檚 board chair, and board member Nicole Seligman.

The announcement follows the high-profile exitthis month of an OpenAI executive focused on safety, Jan Leike. Leike resigned from OpenAI leveling criticisms that the company had underinvested in AI safety work and that tensions with OpenAI鈥檚 leadership had 鈥渞eached a breaking point.鈥

It also comes after the departure of Ilya Sutskever, another leader of OpenAI鈥檚 so-called 鈥渟uperalignment鈥 team focused on ensuring that AI development serves human needs and priorities. Sutskever played a key role in Altman鈥檚 surprise ousteras CEO last year, only to reverse course and later throw his support behind Altman鈥檚 return.

Earlier this month, an OpenAI spokesperson told CNN that dismantling the superalignment team and reassigning those employees across the company would help it better achieve its superalignment goals.

In its blog post Tuesday, OpenAI also said it has begun training a new AI model to succeed the one currently powering ChatGPT. The company said the new AI model succeeding GPT-4 would be another step along the way to artificial general intelligence.

鈥淲hile we are proud to build and release models that are industry-leading on both capabilities and safety, we welcome a robust debate at this important moment,鈥 the company said.

鈥淎 first task of the Safety and Security Committee will be to evaluate and further develop OpenAI鈥檚 processes and safeguards over the next 90 days,鈥 the blog post added. 鈥淎t the conclusion of the 90 days, the Safety and Security Committee will share their recommendations with the full Board. Following the full Board鈥檚 review, OpenAI will publicly share an update on adopted recommendations in a manner that is consistent with safety and security.鈥
