In recent years, innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) has seen remarkable progress and changed how society functions. AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT4 and Google’s Bert have used massive corpora of text to generate human-like prose and summary analysis on a range of topics, code, music, artwork and even deliver legal opinions. With such incredible developments, it is no surprise that many have become worried.
In response to these advances, a group of tech executives, scientists and policymakers recently signed an open letter urging a six-month moratorium on the creation of new generative AI models. The goal of this pause is to provide time for safeguards to be developed, so that “their effects are helpful and their risks can be managed”.
OpenAI is a research laboratory headquartered in San Francisco, California, founded by Elon Musk and Sam Altman. Initially operating under Elon Musk’s guidance, Sam Altman took the helm in 2018. OpenAI is a nonprofit organization, focused on artificial intelligence research and development. Their mission is to develop beneficial Ai and to create a more balanced world with it. OpenAI was the first to develop ChatGPT4 which can write fluently on a large variety of topics.
ChatGPT4 is Google’s Bert OpenAI’s AI language model for natural language processing tasks such as generating conversation threads, summarizing articles and analyzing data. The model was developed by a team of researchers, who trained it with a corpus of open source text data. It was designed to be a more efficient and reliable version of language models, offering improved accuracy and better performance on natural language processing tasks. The model is open source, so it can be used by AI developers working with any platform.
The introduction of AI technology is set to redefine our society and world, but with that comes great responsibility. Ensuring that AI is used ethically and safely is a priority, and the open letter signed by industry officials and regulators is a key move in that direction. In the long run, AI will empower people with the ability to automate repetitive tasks and place focus on more cognitive work, with the potential to positively shape the future.
