Welcome to AI Wire — your smart shortcut to all things AI, without the jargon.

What we’ll cover today:

  • OpenAI hiring someone to worry about AI fallout 🧠

  • Why data centers are suddenly political ⚡

  • India’s startup money gets disciplined 🇮🇳

  • 4 AI tools worth your attention right now 🧰

  1. OpenAI admits its models are already creating real risks in security and mental health.

  2. The role exists because safety leaders left or were moved to product work.

  3. OpenAI now says safety rules may change if competitors ship risky models first.

  4. The $555K pay shows this is a serious internal concern, not PR.
