Leadership churn in safety at a major lab means enterprise buyers should treat safety posture as a moving target, not a fixed asset. If you're building on that stack, recheck escalation paths, red-team processes, and contractual commitments rather than assuming last quarter's story still holds.
Applied AIOpenAI’s Head of Safety Is Leaving the Company
