Sam Altman stresses need to guard against negative consequences of technology, as company releases new version GPT-4
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that developed the controversial consumer-facing artificial intelligence applicationAltman, 37, stressed that regulators and society need to be involved with the technology to guard against potentially negative consequences for humanity. “We’ve got to be careful here,” Altmanon Thursday, adding: “I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this.
“I’m particularly worried that these models could be used for large-scale disinformation,” Altman said. “Now that they’re getting better at writing computer code, [they] could be used for offensive cyber-attacks.” But despite the dangers, he said, it could also be “the greatest technology humanity has yet developed”., less than four months since the original version was released and became the fastest-growing consumer application in history.
In the interview, the artificial intelligence engineer said that although the new version was “not perfect” it had scored 90% in the US on the bar exams and a near-perfect score on the high school SAT math test. It could also write computer code in most programming languages, he said.
