Safe Superintelligence Reportedly Raises $2B at $32B Valuation in Pursuit of AI Safety Breakthrough

Safe Superintelligence (SSI), the AI research company founded by Ilya Sutskever following his departure from OpenAI, has reportedly raised an additional $2 billion in funding, bringing its valuation to $32 billion, according to the Financial Times. The round was reportedly led by Greenoaks, though SSI has not officially confirmed the raise.

Founded by Sutskever alongside Daniel Gross and Daniel Levy, SSI is focused solely on developing a safe path to superintelligent AI. The company, which has kept a low profile since launching in 2024, states that it is working toward “one goal and one product” — a safe superintelligence designed from the ground up for alignment and security.
