OpenAI Leaders Write About The Risk Of AI, Suggest Ways To Govern

OpenAI is one of the leading research laboratories in artificial intelligence (AI). It has yet again emphasized the need for governance of AI systems. The lab published a blog on May 22nd by Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Ilya Sutskever. They are all key figures behind the development of ChatGPT. They have called for the governance of superintelligence more capable than even AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).

The Need to Govern Superintelligence

The blog by OpenAI leaders suggests that now is the time to start thinking about the governance of superintelligence – future AI systems that are dramatically more capable than even AGI. As AI systems continue their exponential growth, we can expect them to exceed expert skill levels in most domains and carry out as much productive activity as one of today’s largest corporations.

Mitigating the Risks Associated with AI

The authors point out that the possibility of existential risks posed by AI means we cannot afford to be reactive. They suggest several ways to mitigate these risks. It includes the need for an international authority that can inspect systems, require audits, test for compliance with safety standards, place restrictions on deployment degrees and security levels, etc. Such an authority could work similarly to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Open Research Question

According to the OpenAI blog by its leaders, safety is still an open research question on which work needs to be done. Mitigating the risks associated with AI will require a collaborative effort from researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and the general public.

Importance of Public Input

The blog by OpenAI leaders also emphasizes the importance of public input in determining the governance of AI systems. It is crucial that the development of AI technologies is transparent and that there is an ongoing dialogue between developers and the public throughout the process.

Our Say

It is essential to ensure that we develop and deploy AI safely and responsibly as it continues its rapid growth. The blog’s authors highlight several key areas we must address to achieve this. It includes the need for an international authority and ongoing collaboration between researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and the public. By working together, we can build a future where AI is a force for good. It will also help us solve the world’s most pressing challenges.
