Sam Altman is offering a $555,000 salary to fill one of the most demanding roles in artificial intelligence.
The new head of preparedness at OpenAI will oversee defences against serious AI risks.
The role includes monitoring threats to mental health, cybersecurity, and biological safety.
It also involves preparing for future systems that may train themselves.
Altman warned the job would be stressful and require immediate immersion.
He said the position is critical as AI capabilities accelerate rapidly.
Industry leaders have raised growing concerns about loss of control.
Demis Hassabis has warned of AI causing harm if it goes “off the rails”.
With little global regulation, companies largely police themselves.
OpenAI says it is strengthening safeguards as its models become more powerful.
