The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), an organization backed by Musk, has filed a complaint against OpenAI, expressing concern about the potential risks to humanity from the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems.
The FTC claims that OpenAI’s research into complex language models, such as GPT-3, could lead to deception and manipulation by businesses and individuals, as well as potentially harm competition and consumers.
This move by the FTC is part of a broader effort by Musk and other technology leaders to slow the development of AI and ensure its safe and responsible development with a focus on the welfare of humanity.
The complaint against OpenAI marks an important development in the ongoing debate about the risks and benefits of AI, in which some experts have warned that the technology could pose serious risks if not developed responsibly.
In response to the FTC’s complaint, OpenAI released a statement highlighting its commitment to developing safe and useful AI systems, and its willingness to work with regulators and stakeholders to ensure responsible development.
This latest development underscores the urgent need to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of AI, and highlights the importance of cooperation and collaboration between industry, government, and civil society in ensuring the safe and responsible development of this transformative technology.
