OpenAI safety leader David Robinson resigns amid growing insider warnings on AI risks
Former staff from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind testified at a New York City Council hearing on October 5, 2026, after the companies sent representatives following a warning from the council's office that subpoenas would follow. Jacob Coxon, Daniel Kokotajlo, and Alex Turner spoke at the hearing. In a separate development, Robinson, OpenAI's former safety leader, wrote in an essay for The Atlantic that the "trial and error" approach favored by AI companies has to end, describing the wave of departures as a "parade of former colleagues" leaving over concerns about the technology or how it is used. Council Speaker Julie Menin says the council will go to court, alleging that one company is in direct violation of its subpoena.
