OpenAI Safety Employee Quits, Calls for Nuclear-Level Safeguards

David Robinson, a former OpenAI safety employee, has resigned and warned that leading AI firms need stronger safeguards against catastrophic risks. In an essay for The Atlantic, he said OpenAI 'has thrived by trial and error' but is failing to achieve the care needed as its technology grows more powerful. He urged AI companies to operate like nuclear power plants, with layers of redundancy and careful planning.
