The opportunity
About the team The Intelligence and Investigations team seeks to rapidly identify and mitigate abuse and strategic risks to ensure a safe online ecosystem in close collaboration with our internal and external partners. Our efforts contribute to OpenAI's overarching goal of developing AI that benefits humanity.
What they're looking for
- Turn analysis into actionable risk intelligence Translate findings into: clear, ranked risk lists and concrete proposals for mitigations that product, safety, and policy teams can execute on.
- Work with Global Affairs and Communications teams to share findings in ways: that reinforce OpenAI’s role as a leader in the online safety ecosystem.
- Track whether mitigation work is landing: follow key indicators, pressure-test assumptions, and push for course corrections when the data demands it.
- Build early warning and measurement capabilities Help define the core metrics: and signals that indicate whether fast-evolving AI environments are safe (e.g., misalignment, interpretability, recursive self-improvement, societal and systemic risks, etc.).
