OpenAI Safety Transparency Lead David Robinson Resigns as Senior Safety Exits Mount

David Robinson, who ran OpenAI's safety transparency work including system cards and public risk disclosures, left the company last week according to a spokesperson, following his earlier role leading policy planning. The departure lands days after OpenAI fired three safety researchers for allegedly sharing information with an outside AI-safety group, and brings the count of senior safety figures who have exited OpenAI in about two years to at least six. Safety teams were folded into the research org under VP Mia Glaese in July.
