OpenAI reportedly disbanded its preparedness team

According to the Financial Times, OpenAI disbanded its preparedness team at the end of last month. This team's role was to assess risks posed by models and develop mitigation strategies. Responsibility has now been divided into specific areas like bio and cyber, moving into existing teams. This shift comes amid significant upheaval at the company as it prepares for a massive IPO. These changes are part of OpenAI's strategy to restructure its management model, gradually dismantling its reach-led approach, reflecting a shift in how it manages risks associated with its technologies.
