After releasing the highly effective GPT 4, the company behind the AI chatbot ChatGPT, OpenAI, has confirmed that it is not attempting to train GPT 5. This was confirmed by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, at an event at MIT. Altman was asked about an open letter that Elon Musk and other researchers had signed urging businesses to halt the development of AI systems that are more powerful than GPT-4.
OpenAI's ChatGPT program has gained a lot of traction because it can quickly and thoroughly answer a wide range of questions. It is the consumer application that has grown at the fastest rate in history, with over 100 million active users on a monthly basis. However, concerns about its potential impact on employment, safety, and privacy have also been raised due to its rapid expansion.
In his talk at MIT, Altman addressed some of these concerns, pointing out that the open letter missed important technical details about where development should stop. The letter that Musk had signed was not enough to persuade Altman. He said it was "missing the vast majority of the specialized subtlety about where we really want the delay. He stated, "We are not and will not be for some time."
He also said that the letter had made a false claim that OpenAI was training GPT-5 at the moment, which is not true. Instead, the business is concentrating on fixing safety issues with GPT-4 and other AI systems it is developing.
The tech scientists, including a few signatories of the open letter like Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and Teacher Stuart Russell, have quarreled over the idea of the danger presented by simulated intelligence and how the business ought to address it.
A task force on ChatGPT will be established by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) to establish a common policy on AI privacy rules. This comes after Italy's choice to boycott ChatGPT and Germany's official for information assurance, demonstrating that it might follow accordingly.
OpenAI and other businesses in the sector will need to confront these issues head-on as the debate over the safety, privacy, and employment implications of AI continues. All stakeholders need to collaborate to guarantee that AI is developed ethically and responsibly, despite the possibility of disagreement regarding the most effective method.
