NoteThe source directly confirms all three components of the claim: (1) Zico Kolter chairs the Safety & Security Committee, (2) the SSC is a Foundation board committee only (not PBC), and (3) Dr. Kolter serves exclusively on the Foundation board. The source also confirms he is a professor (implied by 'Dr.' title) and the context matches the October 2025 timeframe. The additional context about him sitting exclusively on Foundation board and not on PBC is explicitly stated: 'The chair of the SSC—Dr. Kolter—will serve exclusively on the OpenAI Foundation board' and 'all current OpenAI Foundation directors will also serve on OpenAI Group's board, other than Dr. Kolter, who will serve as a non-voting observer.'
