Paul Christiano Joins OpenAI Foundation Board and Safety Committee

Paul Christiano, a foundational figure in reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and founder of the Alignment Research Center, has joined the OpenAI Foundation Board and its Safety and Security Committee. The appointment brings a veteran alignment researcher back into OpenAI's core governance architecture amid ongoing structural shifts. As OpenAI recalibrates oversight for frontier deployments, Christiano's presence injects a deeply technical, safety-oriented perspective directly into the formal review mechanisms of its non-profit arm.
