OpenAI safety report lead resigns, calls company culture 'broken'

David Robinson, who led the writing of safety reports accompanying OpenAI's product launches, resigned from the company and set out his reasons in an essay published in The Atlantic on 3 October titled "I Quit OpenAI Because Its Culture Is Broken." Robinson was not a peripheral figure: he oversaw the safety reports, known as system cards, for 12 frontier launches and helped draft the current Preparedness Framework, the rulebook OpenAI uses to decide when its AI models are too dangerous to release without extra safeguards.
