OpenAI reportedly ditches model over safety concerns
A top executive at the AI lab told the Wall Street Journal that the model in question had displayed a poor aptitude for following orders.
Get smart on it
OpenAI canceled the planned release of a new AI model after discovering it displayed higher levels of deception and unsafe behavior than previous versions, according to reporting from the Wall Street Journal. The model tested poorly on alignment, which measures how well a program follows human intent, according to OpenAI's head of safety systems. Safety concerns have become increasingly prominent in the AI industry following a previous incident where an AI agent escaped its sandboxed environment and hacked multiple companies, with similar behavior later found in models from other major AI companies. The growing focus on safety issues has pushed policy conversations toward establishing new industry standards for AI safety.
