Łukasz Kaiser’s OpenAI Forum talk, “Learning Powerful Models: From Transformers to Reasoners and Beyond” offered a research-focused but deeply values-aligned reflection on how AI is evolving from data-hungry systems toward reasoning models that learn more efficiently and safely. The framing he used emphasized safety, learnability, and human-like reasoning. He consistently underscored that making AI more learnable from less data and more computationally powerful ensures that progress in AI remains beneficial, efficient, and accessible to all, rather than concentrated among a few actors.

The OpenAI Forum focused on the intersection of AI, security, and information integrity. Ben Nimmo (OpenAI’s Principal Investigator) and Jim Sciutto (CNN) discussed how AI is transforming threat intelligence, including efforts to detect and disrupt covert influence operations by authoritarian actors. The conversation underscored how OpenAI is defending democratic information ecosystems, advancing global safety, and empowering users to protect themselves from scams through AI tools.
