OpenAI, the brainchild of tech giants Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others, is dedicating its efforts to improving the capabilities of its current GPT-4 model instead of training a fifth version. Sam Altman clarified this at an MIT event, adding that the open letter called for pausing the development of AI models larger than GPT-4 lacked technical detail. OpenAI is actively pushing forward with AI developments that adhere to safety protocols and human values.

Chegg, a US-based educational platform, announced their launch of CheggMate powered by OpenAI GPT-4. It aims to provide students with an AI conversation tailored to their needs. Despite the launch, investors remain concerned over the effects of tools like ChatGPT on education. CEO Dan Rosensweig has tried to alleviate these worries, pointing to the accuracy of the data provided by CheggMate. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman praised the tool for its potential to improve learning globally. Students will have access to the product from May.

At OpenAI, Sam Altman and Lex Fridman discussed Artificial Intelligence in a recent MIT event. Altman confirmed that OpenAI is not focusing on another version of their Generative Pre-trained Transformer model (GPT). Instead, they are putting more energy into enhancing GPT-4's capabilities. An open letter was raised addressing AI developers to pause training on AI models bigger than GPT-4, but Altman had his reservations. GPT-4 is proven to be more creative and collaborative, scoring a simulated law bar exam in the top 10 percent. OpenAI is committed to values and ethics while developing AI, tailored to solve complex issues with accuracy.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT has seen immense success since its launch late last year, with 100 million users worldwide. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has set up a task force to create regulations for this AI platform, following recent privacy-related bans in Italy and Germany. The Spanish and French data protection agencies have also started an investigation, with five complaints from French users, one of which was from an MP. EDPB's move to protect user’s data while promoting AI technology is commendable.
