Here you have a man that I think many people expected to leave sooner because he was part of that whole uproar of trying to get Sam Altman out. So. Why now? Why is so Skeever finally leaving? Yeah, indeed. And according to reports, he hasn't been in the office since November, when of course, all of this transplant, Sam Altman was temporarily, at least for five days, no longer at the head of Open AI, And Ilia was key to that. Of course he had a seat on the board and he voted along with three others to oust Sam. And then he came out and said he regretted it after about 770 employees of Open AI threatened to quit in in light of that. So he taken a backseat to say the very least since since those events, and he stepped down from the board, but it continued to have an official role. Now he's come out and said. That he is now stepping down. He's gonna be pursuing other projects. This was a deeply he is a deeply respected researcher who have been appointed back in 2015 by Elon Musk, by the way, who was one of the original investors in Open AI.

Within his statement, he says he does think it's going to be safe and deliver real benefits because safety is key. That's where the clash came about between Iliatsus gave her and Sam Altman. He wasn't convinced that Sam was pursuing this in a Safeway. It seems now he is. He's ready to take a step back. Is going to pursue other projects, and he thinks, according to at least a statement, that Open a Open AI is on the right track when it comes to the safety.
