In a further blow to OpenAI, co-founder John Schulman has announced his departure from the company to join rival AI startup Anthropic.

Schulman, known for his major role in the development of OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT, said a desire to heighten his focus on AI alignment is the primary reason for his departure. 

Alignment, the science of ensuring AI systems behave as intended, has become a central concern in the rapidly evolving field.

“I’ve decided to pursue this goal at Anthropic, where I believe I can gain new perspectives and do research alongside people deeply engaged with the topics I’m most interested in,” Schulman said in a post on X.   

Despite acknowledging the company’s focus on alignment research, Schulman stated that his decision was personal, driven by a desire to explore new opportunities. 

His departure follows that of another key figure, Jan Leike, who also left OpenAI for Anthropic over issues about the company’s prioritisation of safety.

OpenAI has faced increasing accusations over its approach to AI safety, with reports stating that the company has been more focused on commercial success than on mitigating potential risks. The departure of Schulman, a leading expert in the field, is likely to increase these perspectives.

In addition to Schulman’s departure, OpenAI’s president and co-founder Greg Brockman has announced an extended leave of absence. Brockman, who has been key in the company’s growth, will be taking a break to “relax and recharge.”

The company has also confirmed the departure of Peter Deng, a product manager who joined from Meta.
