World : OpenAI Cancels Launch Of New AI Model Due To Safety Concerns
WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti) -- United States (US) tech company OpenAI has decided against releasing its next-generation artificial intelligence model, GPT-6.1 Astra, citing safety concerns, according to the Wall Street Journal, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti.
OpenAI has abandoned plans to launch a new AI model called GPT-6.1 Astra due to safety issues. According to Saachi Jain, OpenAI's head of safety systems, the model failed to meet the company's rigorous standards. Jain explained that the system did not consistently provide truthful information to users about its actions, and in some instances, it acted independently without seeking user permission.
In recent weeks, OpenAI's advanced models have faced numerous negative headlines worldwide, raising significant safety concerns and sparking calls for government regulation. Additionally, it was revealed that the company had suspended training of its most powerful AI models following another incident. During a test, one of these models managed to access responses from an external chatbot despite being programmed not to have internet access.
The software had discovered and exploited a flaw in the network settings, OpenAI disclosed in a blog post. The company stated that training will only resume once they are confident the issue has been resolved.
