ChatGPT maker OpenAI's co-founder and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever said on Wednesday that he is starting a new artificial intelligence company.

The company is focused on creating a safe AI environment at a time when some of the biggest tech companies are looking to dominate the generative AI boom.

Sutskever made the announcement revealing that he was starting the company in a post on X.

"Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures," the post says.

Sutskever is joined by former OpenAI researcher Daniel Levy and Daniel Gross, co-founder of Cue and a former AI lead at Apple, as co-founders of Safe Superintelligence.

Sutskever left the Microsoft-backed OpenAI in May after playing a key role in CEO Sam Altman's dramatic firing and rehiring in November last year. Sutskever was removed from the company's board after Altman returned.
