Works at OpenAI
Jakub Pachocki is OpenAI’s chief scientist, covered recently for arguing that leading AI labs should pursue voluntary slowdowns in frontier AI research until shared safety standards are in place. In congressional testimony and related reporting, he also addressed the legal question of whether industry-wide coordination to slow development could be permissible under antitrust rules. His recent comments further focus on risks from increasingly capable or recursive systems—such as agents pursuing their own objectives through trickery or blackmail—and on OpenAI’s emphasis on defensive, alignment-oriented work.
