OpenAI thinks superhuman AI is coming – and wants to build tools to control it

Dec 15, 2023 ·

OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research lab founded by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, believes that superhuman AI is coming and wants to create tools to help control it. The company has long been working on a suite of tools to build and manage powerful AI systems, and its latest project goes even further.

OpenAI's new project, called "Regulate," focuses on developing standards and regulations for AI systems. This includes building safety protocols to prevent AI systems from running amok, as well as creating protocols to keep track of AI data and communication. The goal is to ensure that AI systems are safe, secure, and accurate.

The project also intends to create systems designed to detect and respond to unexpected situations or events in real-time. With these tools, OpenAI hopes to make sure that AI systems are able to respond appropriately to changing conditions.

In addition to protecting AI systems from becoming too powerful, OpenAI also wants to ensure ethical use of these systems. They recognize that AI can be used for both good and bad purposes, and they want to create tools that will help people make sure that AI is being used responsibly.

OpenAI's mission is to promote responsible and beneficial AI development, and their Regulate project is an important part of that mission. By building these tools, they are making sure that AI is developed in a safe, secure, and ethical way. In doing so, OpenAI hopes to avoid the potential disasters that could arise if AI systems become too powerful or uncontrollable.
