OpenAI Co-Founder John Schulman Joins Anthropic | The Software Report

Key People Moves

▤ Summary

Additionally, Peter Deng, a Product Manager who joined OpenAI in 2023, has also left the company. Schulman expressed that his decision to leave was motivated by a desire to focus more intensively on AI alignment—the field dedicated to ensuring that artificial intelligence systems behave as intended—by collaborating with like-minded researchers at Anthropic. OpenAI, founded in 2015, is recognized for its commitment to advancing artificial intelligence technologies and responsible AI practices, notably with the development of the ChatGPT platform. Schulman’s departure reduces the number of original OpenAI founders from 11 to three, leaving CEO Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Wojciech Zaremba. Schulman has been instrumental in shaping OpenAIs research direction, particularly in alignment science, and his contributions have significantly impacted the organization’s foundational work.
