Sam Altman offers $555,000 for the "scariest job in the world"

The company behind ChatGPT, OpenAI, has advertised a vacancy with an annual salary of $555,000, accompanied by a job description that, according to observers, would put even a "genius" in difficulty.

The position, called the "head of preparedness," is considered extremely challenging, as the selected person will be directly responsible for protecting against the risks associated with increasingly powerful artificial intelligence, including impacts on people's mental health, cybersecurity, and the risk of use for biological weapons.

The challenges are compounded by the fears of some experts that advanced artificial intelligence systems could manage to train themselves and potentially act in ways that conflict with human interests.

"This will be a stressful job and the candidate will be thrown right into the thick of it," said Sam Altman, the chief executive of San Francisco-based OpenAI, calling the role "critical" to " helping the world . "

The person taking on the role will be tasked with assessing and mitigating emerging threats, as well as “monitoring and preparing for advanced capabilities that create new risks of serious harm .” According to reports, some of the previous leaders in similar roles have only held short-term positions.

The announcement comes at a time when warnings about the dangers of the technology are growing within the AI ​​industry itself. On Monday, Mustafa Suleyman, the chief executive of Microsoft AI, told BBC Radio 4: "I honestly think if you're not feeling a little scared right now, then you're not paying attention."

Even Demis Hassabis, co-founder of Google DeepMind and Nobel Prize winner, warned this month of dangers that include the possibility of artificial intelligence " getting out of control and harming humanity."

In the absence of strong national or international regulation and in the face of resistance from President Donald Trump's administration, the AI ​​sector remains largely self-regulated. Yoshua Bengio, one of the field's most prominent scientists, recently quipped: A sandwich has more regulation than AI.

In a post on the X platform, Sam Altman noted that OpenAI has built a solid foundation for measuring the growing capabilities of its systems, but that a deeper understanding of how these capabilities can be misused and how negative consequences can be limited, without losing the great benefits the technology offers, is now needed. “These are hard questions, and there is very little precedent ,” he wrote.

One user reacted with irony: "It looks very relaxing, is annual leave included?"

In addition to the salary, the position also includes an unspecified amount of stock in OpenAI, a company valued at about $500 billion. Meanwhile, rival company Anthropic last month reported the first cyberattacks aided by artificial intelligence, in which the systems operated almost autonomously under the supervision of suspected Chinese state actors. OpenAI also announced that its latest model was nearly three times more capable of cyberattacks than three months earlier.

OpenAI is also facing legal challenges. One is from the family of a 16-year-old California boy who died after being encouraged to do so by ChatGPT, the lawsuit says. The company says the technology was misused. Another lawsuit, filed this month, alleges that ChatGPT reinforced the paranoid beliefs of a 56-year-old Connecticut man who then killed his mother and died.

An OpenAI spokesperson said the company is reviewing legal documents in the case, which it described as "extremely shocking," and that it is improving ChatGPT's training to recognize signs of mental or emotional distress, reduce tension in conversations, and direct users to real-world support.
