In a post on X about the position, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledgedthat the &#8220;potential impact of models on mental health was something we saw a preview of in 2025,&#8221; along with other &#8220;real challenges&#8221; that have arisen alongside models&#8217; capabilities. The Head of Preparedness &#8220;is a critical role at an important time,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Per the job listing, the Head of Preparedness (who will make $555K, plus equity), &#8220;will lead the technical strategy and execution of OpenAI&#8217;s Preparedness framework, our framework explaining OpenAI&#8217;s approach to tracking and preparing for frontier capabilities that create new risks of severe harm.&#8221;  <br \/>&#8220;These questions are hard,&#8221; Altman posted on X.com, &#8220;and there is little precedent; a lot of ideas that sound good have some real edge cases&#8230; This will be a stressful job and you&#8217;ll jump into the deep end pretty much immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The listing says OpenAI&#8217;s Head of Preparedness &#8220;will lead a small, high-impact team to drive core Preparedness research, while partnering broadly across Safety Systems and OpenAI for end-to-end adoption and execution of the framework.&#8221;  They&#8217;re looking for someone &#8220;comfortable making clear, high-stakes technical judgments under uncertainty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#OpenAI #Hiring #Preparedness #PredictMitigate #AIs #Harms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An anonymous reader shared this report from Engadget: OpenAI is looking for a new Head of Preparedness who can help&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46067"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46068,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46067\/revisions\/46068"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
