TREE NEWS update: David Robinson, previously responsible for transparency on OpenAI’s safety team, resigned and said the ChatGPT developer “has grown by trial and error,” in an article for The Atlantic. He cited OpenAI’s failure to stop its AI from going out of control during testing as an example, and said AI companies should operate more like nuclear power plants, with multiple layers of redundancy and careful, time-consuming planning.
OpenAI Safety Staffer Resigns, Urges Nuclear-Style AI Safeguards
AI take
The resignation is notable less for the departure itself than for the regulatory analogy it imports: nuclear-style redundancy implies external, engineering-grade oversight rather than the internal safety reviews that have defined AI governance so far. That framing lands awkwardly for a sector whose pitch to institutional and tokenized-asset markets rests on responsible-deployment narratives. Whether this becomes a broader critique from departing safety staff, or remains an isolated essay, is the open question worth tracking.
