Open AI is looking for a new head of preparedness, someone that can help the chat GPT maker

avoid a lot of the catastrophic events we worry about with AI. Now, this is an interesting story

because they previously had a head of preparedness who left. Many people from their safety team

have left. And a lot of people say this is due to Sam Altman not prioritizing that part of

the company and basically just pushing out models without doing all of the red teaming. This is a

multi-billion dollar company. So I don't think that's 100% the full story here. Today on the show,

we're going to get into what they're looking for. How much Sam Altman is personally willing to pay

for this new head of preparedness?

Why now is the time and everything he's been saying about this on X. We're going to get into all of that. But before we do, I want to say a big thank you to the sponsor of today's episode, which is Delve. If compliance is something that's slowing down your deals, whether that's SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, I know that it's a ton of work with the screenshots and the spreadsheets and all of the endless back and forth. And that is why this episode is brought to you

by Delve. Delve uses AI agents to automate compliance end to end. They collect evidence,

they fill out security questionnaires, and they customize controls to your actual business

so you can get compliant in days and not months.

You also get one-on-one Slack support from real security experts who respond fast.

Over a thousand fast-growing companies trust Delve to close deals faster and stay compliant as they scale.

I'll leave a link in the description to Delve.com if you're interested in learning more or booking a demo.

All right, let's get into what's

going on with OpenAI. Sam Altman himself has personally posted on X saying that, quote,

we are hiring ahead of preparedness. This is a critical role and an important time. Models are

improving quickly and are now capable of many great things, but they are

also starting to present some real challenges. The potential impact of models on mental health

was something we saw a preview of in 2025. We are just now seeing models get so good at computer

security. They are beginning to find critical vulnerabilities. Okay, there's a lot going on here,
