OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research lab and technology company founded by Sam Altman and Greg Brockman in 2015. The company is well-known for its AI-based natural language processing technology, ChatGPT. OpenAI recently proposed steps for the safe development and deployment of superintelligent AI systems, such as the establishment of an international regulatory body to oversee the use of such technology.
Sam Altman is the co-founder and former CEO of OpenAI. He is a successful investor and entrepreneur who has invested in companies such as Airbnb, Stripe, and Reddit. He is now the president of Y Combinator, a venture capital firm that funds early-stage startups. Sam Altman recently suggested that the development of high-level AI should be regulated in a manner similar to nuclear energy, in order to protect societies from potentially dangerous AI applications.
OpenAI’s proposed three-point agenda for the governance of AI systems includes collaborative efforts among AI system developers to ensure the safe development of “superintelligence” and facilitate its integration into society, the creation of an international regulator similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency, and OpenAI’s commitment to enhancing the safety of AI systems. A voluntary agreement among AI system developers, similar to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, could also help to increase the safety of AI, as well as ensure its alignment with human values.
By taking such precautionary measures and coordinating efforts, OpenAI is actively working towards promoting the safe development and integration of AI systems into society. This will ensure the secure use of this powerful technology while still allowing it to be utilized to its fullest potential.
