Fordel StudiosOpenAI is looking for a new Head of Preparedness
What Happened
OpenAI is looking to hire a new executive responsible for studying emerging AI-related risks in areas ranging from computer security to mental health.
Our Take
Honestly, this feels like PR cover. They're hiring someone to study risks while the org ships faster than anyone can vet. But here's the thing - someone does need to think through adversarial attacks, biosecurity fallout, the mental health implications of agentic systems.
The real question is whether this role has veto power or just a notepad. If it's the latter, we're paying for a conscience with no teeth.
Watch how long until they actually slow down a ship date because this hire flagged something. That's the test.
What To Do
Ask in interviews whether this hire reports to Sam or the board—that tells you if it matters.
