OpenAI is a frontier AI research and product company, with teams working on alignment, policy, and security. You can read concerns about doing harm by working at a frontier AI company in our career review on the topic, including concerns about OpenAI in particular. Our Take On This Role: We have concerns about OpenAI's track record on safety and responsible development and do not recommend almost any roles at OpenAI.
