Peter Steinberger Joins OpenAI to Further Develop OpenClaw
Peter Steinberger, the Austrian developer behind the autonomous AI agent OpenClaw, has joined OpenAI to further his mission of creating an AI system that is accessible to a broader audience. Steinberger’s goal is to design an agent that can be used by anyone, regardless of their technical expertise. To achieve this, he believes it is essential to have access to the latest models and research, as well as a safe and secure development environment.
About OpenClaw
OpenClaw, formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, is an open-source AI agent that automates workflows across multiple services. It connects to various external large language models, such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini, and allows users to interact with it through a chatbot interface on platforms like Telegram, Discord, and Signal. Despite its popularity, OpenClaw has been found to have several security vulnerabilities, including exposed and misconfigured instances, susceptibility to indirect prompt injection, and malicious agent skills.
Steinberger’s Vision for OpenClaw
Steinberger is currently working on establishing a foundation for OpenClaw to ensure its long-term sustainability.
OpenAI’s Support for OpenClaw
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed Steinberger to the team, describing him as a genius with innovative ideas about the future of smart agents. Altman expressed his expectation that OpenClaw will become a core part of OpenAI’s product offerings in the near future.
The Future of OpenClaw
The move is seen as a significant development in the field of artificial intelligence, as OpenClaw has the potential to revolutionize the way people interact with AI systems. With Steinberger’s expertise and OpenAI’s resources, the project is likely to make significant progress in the coming months.
