In July 2023, OpenAI announced the Superalignment team, which was intended to research how superintelligent AI systems could be aligned to human values. As part of this announcement, OpenAI also promised that they would give 20% of their computing resources to AI alignment research.
However, within a year, multiple leading members of the team resigned, accusing OpenAI of putting their bottom line over safety and responsibility. One of the accusations included that they never provided the promised computing resources to the team.
Since then, OpenAI is widely reported to have fully abandoned the promise they made in July 2023. We cannot confirm or deny this, as they have never spoken about it.
