The Safe Superintelligence (SSI) startup, founded by former OpenAI researcher Ilya Sutskever, has attracted significant investment from companies including Alphabet and Nvidia. The project, which began its work in June 2024, is already valued at $32 billion following a funding round led by Greenoaks.
The main goal of SSI is to develop a safe artificial intelligence system that could surpass human capabilities while remaining under control. This makes the project especially relevant amid ongoing debates about AI safety and ethics.
The need for such technologies is growing as discussions continue about AI’s impact on society. Investments from major players such as Alphabet and Nvidia highlight the importance of initiatives focused on creating safe technologies for the future. SSI also illustrates how startups can actively shape the direction of technology and set new industry standards.
