OpenAI's Superalignment team was formed in July 2023 to mitigate AI risks, like "rogue" behavior. OpenAI has reportedly disbanded its Superalignment team after its co-leaders resigned. AdvertisementIn the same week that OpenAI launched GPT-4o, its most human-like AI yet, the company dissolved its Superalignment team, Wired first reported. OpenAI created its Superalignment team in July 2023, co-led by Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike. The team was dedicated to mitigating AI risks, such as the possibility of it "going rogue."

Jan Leike, the co-lead of OpenAI's superalignment group, announced his resignation on Tuesday. Leike's exit follows the departure of Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI cofounder and chief scientist. Leike co-led OpenAi's superalignment group, a team that focuses on making its artificial intelligence systems align with human interests. Leike announced his departure hours after Ilya Sutskever, the other superalignment leader, said he was exiting. In a post on X, OpenAI cofounder Sam Altman said, "Ilya and OpenAI are going to part ways.

And the fact that there aren't such controls in place yet is a problem OpenAI recognized, per its July 2023 post. Our current techniques for aligning AI, such as reinforcement learning from human feedback , rely on humans' ability to supervise AI," read OpenAI's post. "But humans won't be able to reliably supervise AI systems much smarter than us, and so our current alignment techniques will not scale to superintelligence. AdvertisementLeike — who worked at Google's DeepMind before his gig at OpenAI — had big aspirations for keeping humans safe from the superintelligence we've created. "Maybe a once-and-for-all solution to the alignment problem is located in the space of problems humans can solve.

OpenAI wants to lure Google researchers with $10 million pay packets, The Information reported. OpenAI is in talks for another employee share sale this year that could value it at $86 billion. OpenAI is exploring options for an employee share sale that values the company at $86 billion , Bloomberg reported last month. If its recruiters are successful in enticing top Google AI researchers, they could benefit from compensation packages of between $5 million and $10 million after the latest share sale, according to The Information. Five former Google researchers were listed in the acknowledgments section of OpenAI's blog post announcing the launch of ChatGPT last November.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are racing to create superintelligent AI. Musk said xAI plans to use Twitter data to train a "maximally curious" and "truth-seeking" superintelligence. Elon Musk is throwing out challenge after challenge to tech CEOs — while he wants to physically fight Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, he's now racing with OpenAI to create AI smarter than humans. On Saturday, Musk said on Twitter Spaces that his new company, xAI, is "definitely in competition" with OpenAI. Over a 100-minute discussion that drew over 1.6 million listeners, Musk explained his plan for xAI to use Twitter data to train superintelligent AI that is "maximally curious" and "truth-seeking."

OpenAI fears that superintelligent AI could lead to human extinction. It is putting together a team to ensure that superintelligent AI aligns with human interests. The new team — called Superalignment — plans to develop AI with human-level intelligence that can supervise superintelligent AI within the next four years. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has long been calling for regulators to address AI risk as a global priority. To be sure, not everyone shares OpenAI's concerns about future problems posed by superintelligent AI.

☆ ChatGPT-maker OpenAI says it is doubling down on preventing AI from 'going rogue'
  + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( Anna Tong | Thomson Reuters | Anna Tong Is A Correspondent For Reuters Based In San Francisco | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
"Currently, we don't have a solution for steering or controlling a potentially superintelligent AI, and preventing it from going rogue." Superintelligent AI - systems more intelligent than humans - could arrive this decade, the blog post's authors predicted. The team's goal is to create a "human-level" AI alignment researcher, and then scale it through vast amounts of compute power. OpenAI says that means they will train AI systems using human feedback, train AI systems to assistant human evaluation, and then finally train AI systems to actually do the alignment research. 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.

☆ How to Spot Robots in a World of A.I.-Generated Text
  + stars: | 2023-02-17 | by ( Keith Collins | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +9 min
A detection tool that knew which words were on the special list would be able to tell the difference between generated text and text written by a person. That would be especially helpful for this generated text, as it includes several factual inaccuracies. By contrast, the detection tool OpenAI released requires a minimum of 1,000 characters. A person could repeatedly edit generated text and check it against a detection tool until the text is identified as human-written — and that process could potentially be automated. By that time, educators and researchers had already been calling for tools to help them identify generated text.
☆ ChatGPT maker OpenAI comes up with a way to check if text was written by a human

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, walks from lunch during the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference on July 6, 2022, in Sun Valley, Idaho. Artificial intelligence research startup OpenAI on Tuesday introduced a tool that's designed to figure out if text is human-generated or written by a computer. The release comes two months after OpenAI captured the public's attention when it introduced ChatGPT, a chatbot that generates text that might seem to have been written by a person in response to a person's prompt. "In our evaluations on a 'challenge set' of English texts, our classifier correctly identifies 26% of AI-written text (true positives) as 'likely AI-written,' while incorrectly labeling human-written text as AI-written 9% of the time (false positives)," the OpenAI employees wrote. The new version is more prepared to handle text from recent AI systems, the employees wrote.
☆ ChatGPT creator rolls out ‘imperfect’ tool to help teachers spot potential cheating

CNN —Two months after OpenAI unnerved some educators with the public release of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that can help students and professionals generate shockingly convincing essays, the company is unveiling a new tool to help teachers adapt. OpenAI on Tuesday announced a new feature, called an “AI text classifier,” that allows users to check if an essay was written by a human or AI. Public schools in New York City and Seattle have already banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district’s networks and devices. OpenAI now joins a small but growing list of efforts to help educators detect when a written work is generated by ChatGPT. Some companies such as Turnitin are actively working on ChatGPT plagiarism detection tools that could help teachers identify when assignments are written by the tool.
