OpenAI creates new supervision team to start training next model | Wilnesh News

OpenAI said Tuesday it has formed a safety and security committee led by senior executives after disbanding its previous oversight committee in mid-May.

The company said the new committee will be responsible for making recommendations to the OpenAI board “on critical security decisions regarding OpenAI projects and operations.”

Meanwhile, the developer of the ChatGPT virtual assistant announced that it has begun training its “next cutting-edge model.”

The company said in a blog post It predicts that “the resulting systems will advance our capabilities to the next level, leading to artificial general intelligence (AGI)” – which refers to artificial intelligence that is as smart as humans or smarter.

OpenAI disbanded its previous team focused on the long-term risks of artificial intelligence and later formed a new oversight team. Prior to this, OpenAI co-founders Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, two team leaders, announced their departure from the Microsoft-backed startup.

As the vast models powering applications like ChatGPT become more advanced, AI security has been at the forefront of a larger debate. AI product developers also want to know when general artificial intelligence will arrive and the risks that will come with it.

Bret Taylor, Adam D’Angelo, and Nicole Seligman are all OpenAI board members and now serve on the new safety committee along with Altman.

Leike wrote this month that OpenAI’s “safety culture and processes have given way to shiny products.” In response to Lake’s departure, Ultraman said on social media platform X that he was sad to see Lake leave, adding that OpenAI “still has a lot to do.”

Over the next 90 days, the security team will evaluate OpenAI’s processes and safeguards and share their recommendations with the company’s board of directors. OpenAI will provide an update on the recommendations it has adopted at a later date.
