Last month, a group of tech giants including the CEO of Tesla Elon Musk and co-founder of Apple Steve WozniakSigned a letter demanding a ‘pause’ on the development of AI. Kasturi and others ask in the paper whether, “contemporary AI systems are now becoming human-competitors at common tasks, and we must ask ourselves: should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruths?” Should we automate all jobs including fulfillment? Should we develop subhuman brains that may eventually outnumber, outsmart, outnumber and replace us? Should we risk losing control of our civilization?”
Although it was not directed at any one company but OpenAIbehind the company GPT AI The model was a clear target. Now, Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAI has responded to the letter. Altman was speaking at an event at MIT and agreed with the fact that security issues are important. “I think it’s really important to proceed with caution and increased rigor to safety issues,” he said. However, he also added that the letter “I don’t think is the best way to address this.”
The talk of halting AI development meant that Altman was also asked whether OpenAI was working on GPT-5, the next model for generative AI. He said that OpenAI is not training GPT-5. “We haven’t and won’t for a while,” Altman said, “so in that sense it was silly,” referring to the letter. He also said that the letter signed by Musk and co. It lacked “the most technical specifics about where we need to pause”.
The letter in question, for that matter, did not call for a complete halt to the development of AI. “This does not mean a pause on the development of AI in general, merely a retreat from the dangerous race to ever-larger unpredictable black-box models,” the letter states.
