. OpenAI, the artificial intelligence giant, founded by tech investor Sam Altman, recently announced that they will not be developing GPT-5 or any other advanced AI model in the near future. This comes after many AI veterans released an open letter calling for a pause in AI development given the associated risks. OpenAI has assured that the existing GPT-4 will be upgraded and updated instead. OpenAI is dedicated to creating a safe and ethical AI that benefits humanity.
Elon Musk, entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, and OpenAI, is looking to create a new AI firm. He has recently pulled away from OpenAI due to issues with progress, direction and control, and is now recruiting a team of researchers and engineers to compete with OpenAI. The firm is expected to be equipped with thousands of NVIDIA GPU processors. This follows Amazon's entrance into the generative AI space with Musk voicing his concerns about the potential dangers of AI while simultaneously supporting an open letter concerning the halt of AI models.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed an open letter about the future of AI, citing his comments at MIT on concerns about GPT-5, emphasizing safety measures, rejecting idea of a monetary pause, and striving for public cooperation. Acknowledging the risks posed by AI development, Altman stressed OpenAI's commitment to safety and diversity.
OpenAI's Sam Altman gave an insight into OpenAI's six month pause on the development of GPT-5, even after the launch of GPT-4. Joined by AI researcher Lex Fridman for a virtual event at MIT, Altman addressed the safety and data privacy concerns, but the lack of transparency of OpenAI's GPT-4 training and its recent web capability plugin had left many feeling frustrated and confused. OpenAI is aiming to prioritize user safety with their AI progress.
OpenAI recently disproved the rumors of their advanced GPT-5 language model. At an MIT event, Sam Altman, the CEO and co-founder, emphasized the importance of AI safety and the FutureofLife initiative, created by fellow co-founder Elon Musk. OpenAI is taking precautions such as bug bounty programs, to ensure the reliability and safety of their AI models. Governments are, however, staying cautious in their regulations – Italy has already ordered the banning of the chatbot, and the U.S Treasury Dept. calls for caution. OpenAI is all for safe and secure AI model and remains committed to its regulations.
