Confusion in openAI due to the risks of generative artificial intelligence

700 out of 770 employees of OpenAI, which emerged a year ago in the field of #generative_artificial_intelligence and is headquartered in California, signed a letter threatening to leave the company if the board of directors refused to resign.

Citing American media, the company’s board of directors accuses Sam Altman of giving priority to the rapid development of OpenAI, the company that created the ChatGPT program, without allocating time to analyze the risks associated with that.

Brendan Dolan Gavitt, a professor of computer science at New York University Tandon, believes that this hypothesis has been proven by the appointment of a new CEO of OpenAI to succeed Altman. “He has expressed many times his concerns about safety in #AI,” he says.

In an article published by “The Information” website, Vinod Kosla, founder of Kosla Ventures, a shareholder in Open AI, says, “We have reached this point because people who love science fiction and journalists who seek sensationalism have exaggerated a number of small risks.”

Among the risks posed by the development of #generative_AI is the possibility that the software could be used for military purposes, for disinformation, or for it to become autonomous and attack humans.

Vinod Kosla says, “It is time to focus on the risks of #artificial_intelligence, but not to the point of slowing its progress and depriving us of its benefits.”

Events recorded in recent days have highlighted the limits of the OpenAI model, which aims to place a company on which financial players bet billions of dollars, under the control of a non-profit holding company.

Carolina Milanesi of Creative Strategies says that officials have “lost public perspective,” addressing them by saying, “How can you remain a non-profit organization once you have approved amounts from parties like Microsoft?”

According to several media outlets, the giant Redmond company approved appropriations worth ten billion dollars in service of its partnership with Open AI, specifically granting it enormous capabilities in processing #data and developing its models.

As artificial intelligence specialist and businessman Gary Marcus says in a post on the “X” platform, the developments taking place “highlight the idea of ​​not allowing companies to self-regulate #artificial intelligence, at a time when contradictions are recorded within their own management.”

He continues, “Please do not abandon the #Artificial_Intelligence law, as we need it more than ever before,” referring to a list of rules aimed at regulating #Artificial_Intelligence that is currently being discussed in the European Union.

Ryan Steelberg, CEO of data analysis company Veriton, believes that the dissolution of OpenAI “will contribute to accelerating many things from an organizational standpoint.”

Carolina Milanesi points out, “This will not slow down the race in the field of #generative_artificial_intelligence,” adding, “It is just changes in the board of directors, which had a positive impact on Microsoft.”
