Safe Superintelligence is a startup by OpenAI co-founder (and CTO) Ilya Sutskever, which aims (as its name suggests) to create safe AGI. The startup doesn't declare any commercial goals, on the contrary, it claims that its single focus eliminates the distraction of management costs or product development cycles and its business model assumes that safety, reliability and progress are not dependent on short-term commercial requirements. Ilya plans to solve the problem of strong AI safety through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs. This means the startup likely wants to create strong AI and keep it in secret until it develops security measures for it.
