I wrote about the state of AI, why I’m concerned about the next few years, and the choices we need to make to keep the future in humanity’s hands.
An Alien Mind:
- I want to prevent a race into unmonitorability kicked off by confused reporting. The depth of the computation graph for our present frontier models, including Astra, is within a factor of two of GPT-4. OpenAI has worked to preserve and utilize chain-of-thought monitoring since
- We temporarily slowed some frontier training to strengthen security and monitoring. Our largest planned frontier RL run remains on hold while smaller-scale training and evaluations help us test safeguards and gather more evidence of alignment. I expect confidence in safety to
- The north stars we're working towards at OpenAI all center around the mission: ensure AGI benefits all of humanity. AI should expand human agency, not make people less consequential to the future.
- Very excited about the "First Proof" challenge. I believe novel frontier research is perhaps the most important way to evaluate capabilities of the next generation of AI models. We have run our internal model with limited human supervision on the ten proposed problems. The
