Ilya Sutskever, co-founder and chief scientist of OpenAI, resigned after a power struggle with CEO Sam Altman.

The resignation of Sutskever and co-lead Jan Leike has led to concerns about the future of OpenAI's superintelligence alignment initiatives.

OpenAI's superalignment team had committed to using 20% of its computing power for aligning AI with ethical standards.

Despite the departure, Sutskever expressed trust in Altman's leadership and OpenAI's direction towards building safe AI.

Jakub Pachocki has been appointed as the new chief scientist of OpenAI, indicating a continuation of the company's mission.

Sutskever announced he is working on a new project and intends to reveal more information in the future.
