Recently, the White House AI Summit called upon tech innovators, such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Altman announced that the company is working on a new ChatGPT model, with an aim to solve copyright problems. Currently, generative AI trains on copyrighted material and artists feel their jobs are at risk.
OpenAI has been leading the development of artificial intelligence, from models and advancements to settlements that involve government regulations. Altman believes AI has the power to reduce bias and do great things for the world. He iterated that OpenAI is building tools, not creatures, and emphasised the importance of responsible AI use.
OpenAI is one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence research companies. It was founded by a group of tech industry leaders, including Sam Altman, who is known for co-founding Y Combinator and working with OpenAI CEO Ilya Sutskever to develop the AI-powered ChatGPT program. Altman believes AI is a neutral force and can call out bias.
Altman also shot down rumours of a new GPT-5 during a Zoom interview at MIT’s Imagination in Action event. According to him, instead of developing the new language model, the team will work to create “the most capable, useful, and safe models.”
Copyright issues come into play when it comes to AI, as the machines generate content based on user input. This makes it hard to place blame; is the user accountable or the AI model? Current laws don’t have an answer, as they primarily protect content original created by a human. That’s why Altman proposed a system where creators get rewarded if their content is used.
In sum, OpenAI is working on a new ChatGPT model to address copyright issues. The model is intended to create content with human-like understanding and intelligence, while also protecting content creators. Meanwhile, the team is also devoting energy to developing responsible and usable AI tools.
