Don’t Expect OpenAI’s GPT-5 Anytime Soon – SlashGear

In addition to talking about GPT-5, Altman also talked about the apprehensions surrounding AI and the associated risks. Things really escalated when the likes of Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and some of the world’s top minds in the AI field signed an open letter, asking for a 6-month pause on the development of advanced AI like GPT-4 citing tangible risks. While Altman was not entirely dismissive of the letter, he remarked that the proposal and some of its claims were devoid of “most technical nuance” when it comes to finding the areas where we need to hit the brakes. 

“I think moving with caution and increasing rigor for safety issues is really important. The letter I don’t think is the optimal way to address it,” Altman said. But the open letter wasn’t the only cautionary AI tale. The Biden administration is already said to be exploring a model code of regulatory conduct and ethics around AI development and deployment to assuage the risks. Earlier this week, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) also issued a request seeking proposals around accountability and safety so that safety remains intact and appropriate policies can be put in place.
