- CTO of the company was interviewed by reporters
- And answered important questions
CTO of OpenAI Mira Murati was interviewed by the Associated Press.. He brought up an important topic – who should regulate AI and how this should happen.
The expert believes that government agencies should be involved in regulation.
“Governments should approve the rules for regulation – at least at the company level.. They have to agree on some level of standards.”
In this regard, Germany and Canada come to mind. Local regulators have already begun investigating OpenAI for privacy violations.
Mira Murati disagrees with some experts’ call to suspend chatbot development for six months to better examine all risks.
“The AI is currently in development – it is, in fact, not being trained. Right now, the industry is not close to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI).”
AGI is a hypothetical higher degree of development when AI can solve any intellectual problem, including cognition and reasoning. In simple terms, chatbots are still a long way from human-level intelligence.
Recall that recently Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and others in the tech industry called on OpenAI to pause in the development of AI.
They motivated this by the fact that the technology should be tested in more detail for possible threats to humanity.
Perhaps these businessmen had another ulterior motive. While OpenAI would have suspended development, they would have time to prepare their own competitors.
