OpenAI said it spent six months making the artificial intelligence software safer. They’ve also raised concerns about the carbon emissions associated with all the computing power needed to train and run these AI models.
Researchers have noted that large language models can sometimes meander off topic or wade into inappropriate or racist speech. When OpenAI initially released GPT-2 in 2019, it opted to make only part of the model public because of concerns about malicious use.
In addition to fears that text-generation systems will be used to cheat on schoolwork, it can perpetuate biases and misinformation. The technology has spurred excitement as well as controversy in recent months. GPT-4 is what’s called a large language model, a type of AI system that analyses vast quantities of writing from across the internet in order to determine how to generate human-sounding text. The company’s chief technology officer, Mira Murati, told Fast Company earlier this month that “less hype would be good”. People are begging to be disappointed and they will be.” “The GPT-4 rumour mill is a ridiculous thing,” he said. In a January interview, OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman tried to keep expectations in check. Like GPT-3, GPT-4 can’t reason about current events - it was trained on data that, for the most part, existed before September 2021. The new version is better at things like finding specific information in a corporate earnings report, or providing an answer about a detailed part of the US federal tax code - basically combing through “dense business legalese” to find an answer, he said. “We’re really starting to get to systems that are actually quite capable and can give you new ideas and help you understand things that you couldn’t otherwise,” said Greg Brockman, president and co-founder of OpenAI. Other customers include language learning company Duolingo, the Khan Academy and the Icelandic government.īe My Eyes, a company that works on tools for people who are blind or have low vision, is also using the software for a virtual volunteer service that lets people send images to an AI-powered service, which will answer questions and provide visual assistance. OpenAI said Morgan Stanley is using GPT-4 to organise data, while Stripe, an electronic payments company, is testing whether it will help combat fraud.
