Co-founder and chief scientist of Safe Superintelligence Inc (SSI). Co-founder and former chief scientist of OpenAI. One of the most cited deep learning researchers in history, known for AlexNet and foundational work on transformer scaling.
Sutskever's departure from OpenAI was the most consequential exit in AI history -- the man who co-architected GPT decided the commercial path was incompatible with safe development. SSI raising $1B at a $5B valuation with no product, no roadmap, and deliberate opacity tells you everything about how much the market trusts his technical judgment. If anyone can make safety-first research work without commercial compromise, it is Sutskever.
