Durk Kingma, who helped setup OpenAI in 2015 alongside Elon Musk and current CEO Sam Altman, said he was joining Anthropic in order to develop “powerful AI systems responsibly”. “Can’t wait to work with their talented team, including a number of great ex-colleagues from OpenAI and Google, and tackle the challenges ahead!” The research scientist’s work on generative AI models were integral to the development of OpenAI’s Dall-E image generator and popular chatbot ChatGPT, though it is not clear what his specific role will be at Anthropic. Mr Kingma’s move comes less than a month after fellow OpenAI co-founder John Schulman announced that he was also joining Anthropic to focus on the safe and ethical development of AI. “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.” Other OpenAI co-founders to have left this year include former president Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever, who served as the company’s chief scientist.
