About
Safe Superintelligence, known as SSI, is an AI research company. Ilya Sutskever, a co-founder and former chief scientist of OpenAI, started it in 2024 with Daniel Gross and Daniel Levy. It has offices in Palo Alto, California, and Tel Aviv, Israel.
The company says it has one goal and one product: a safe superintelligence. It has said it will not release smaller commercial products along the way, so that short term business pressure does not shape its research. As of its public statements, SSI has not launched any product.
SSI keeps a small team of researchers and engineers and says very little in public. Daniel Gross left in 2025, and Ilya Sutskever then took over as chief executive. The company has raised large amounts from well known venture firms despite having no product. It remains privately held. Its name, its website and its few public posts all point to the same single aim.
