OpenAI, an organization co-founded by Elon Musk, has come under fire from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), an organization that seeks to slow the development of artificial intelligence because of concerns about potential risks to humanity.
In a complaint filed with the FTC, the organization claims that OpenAI’s research into advanced AI systems could harm consumers and competition. In particular, the FTC is concerned that OpenAI’s development of language models, such as the widely used GPT-3, could lead to deception and manipulation by businesses and individuals.
This is not the first time Musk has expressed concern about the potential risks associated with artificial intelligence. He has been a vocal advocate of slowing down AI development and ensuring that the technology develops in a way that is safe and beneficial to humanity.
In response to the complaint, OpenAI issued a statement saying that it is committed to developing safe and useful AI systems, and that it welcomes discussion and cooperation with regulators and stakeholders.
While some experts argue that AI has the potential to revolutionize society and solve some of the world’s most serious problems, others warn that the technology could pose serious dangers if not developed responsibly.
This complaint from the FTC is likely to reignite the debate about the proper pace and direction of AI development. We will continue to monitor developments and bring you the latest news as it becomes available.
