OpenAI recently announced the formation of a specialized team tasked with reviewing and reducing risks connected with artificial intelligence. This move comes as the company continues to make advances in AI research and applications, and is motivated by the awareness that as AI technologies advance, so do the potential risks and challenges connected with them. OpenAI has launched an initiative known as “Preparedness” to build safe artificial general intelligence (AGI) and has committed to voluntary initiatives aimed at promoting the safety, security, and trustworthiness of AI. These commitments encompass various risk areas, with a particular focus on the frontier risks discussed at the UK AI Safety Summit.
