OpenAI Recruits Carnegie Mellon Professor for Director Role

OpenAI has made a significant addition to its leadership team with the appointment of Zico Kolter, a Carnegie Mellon professor and AI safety expert, to its board of directors. This move underscores the company's commitment to addressing safety concerns in artificial intelligence development.

Details:

  • Kolter joins OpenAI's board, bringing extensive AI safety expertise to the Safety and Security Committee.

  • His appointment follows recent departures from OpenAI's safety teams, including co-founder Ilya Sutskever and members of the "Superalignment" team.

  • Kolter holds a PhD from Stanford, with postdoctoral work at MIT and collaborations with Bosch and AI startup Gray Swan.

While the appointment addresses some concerns about the company's commitment to safety, questions remain about the effectiveness of a committee largely composed of insiders.

Challenges in AI Development

Unexpected GPT-4o Behaviors Baffle OpenAI Researchers

OpenAI's latest AI model, GPT-4o, which powers the alpha version of Advanced Voice Mode in ChatGPT, has demonstrated some unexpected and bizarre behaviors. This voice-enabled model, trained on text, image, and voice data, exhibits peculiar quirks that OpenAI has documented in a recent "red teaming" report.

Details:

  • In certain conditions, particularly noisy environments, GPT-4o may mimic the user's voice. OpenAI attributes this to the model's struggle with understanding unclear speech.

  • The model can generate unsettling sound effects, including screams and gunshots, and may produce inappropriate vocalizations like erotic moans.

  • GPT-4o has shown potential for music copyright infringement, leading OpenAI to implement filters and instruct the model not to sing in the current alpha release.

Despite these unusual behaviors, OpenAI has implemented various safeguards and mitigations to enhance the model's safety and ethical use. These include refusing to identify individuals based on speech, declining to answer biased questions, and blocking prompts for violent or sexually explicit content.
