OpenAI is currently training a successor to GPT-4 as part of its effort to enhance its reputation. The company is establishing a safety and security committee, led by CEO Sam Altman and three board directors, to address safety concerns.
In a recent blog post, OpenAI announced the initiation of training for its next frontier model, aiming to achieve advancements towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, details regarding the release date and capabilities of the GPT-4 successor remain undisclosed.
Scrutiny on OpenAI's Safety Culture and Decision-Making
Despite being a frontrunner in generative AI, OpenAI has faced ethical scrutiny. Former researchers Jan Leike and Gretchen Krueger highlighted the company's alleged disregard for safety culture and processes, emphasizing the need for improvement in decision-making, accountability, and transparency.
“OpenAI has recently begun training its next frontier model and we anticipate the resulting systems to bring us to the next level of capabilities on our path to artificial general intelligence (AGI).”
OpenAI's Response to Criticism and Focus on Safety
Recent criticism from the European Union regarding the accuracy of ChatGPT adds to OpenAI's challenges. Additionally, actress Scarlett Johannson accused the company of unauthorized use of her voice, further complicating matters.
OpenAI is now positioning safety as a key selling point for its upcoming AI program. The company aims to demonstrate its commitment to responsible AI development and regulatory compliance.
A newly formed safety and security committee, comprising key directors and executives, will evaluate and enhance safety processes over the next three months. This initiative follows the dissolution of OpenAI's safety team earlier this month.
