According to a report by the WSJ, Nvidia has invested in the AI laboratory Safe Superintelligence (SSI), founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. The two parties have reached a long-term cooperation agreement aimed at expanding SSI's computing resources while helping Nvidia secure important clients in the AI field.

However, after leaving OpenAI, he began to question the approach of solely relying on expanding data and computing power to drive AI progress, turning instead to explore new directions in superintelligence research.
