OpenAI plans to invest significant resources and create a new research team to ensure its AI remains safe for humans.
"The vast power of superintelligence could ... lead to the disempowerment of humanity or even human extinction," OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever and head of alignment Jan Leike wrote in a blog post."Currently, we don't have a solution for steering or controlling a potentially superintelligent AI, and preventing it from going rogue."
OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, is dedicating 20% of the compute power it has secured over the next four years to solving this problem, they wrote. In addition, the company is forming a new team that will organize around this effort, called the Superalignment team. AI safety advocate Connor Leahy said the plan was fundamentally flawed because the initial human-level AI could run amok and wreak havoc before it could be compelled to solve AI safety problems.
