SAN FRANCISCO –
A group of OpenAI insiders are blowing the whistle on what they say is a culture of recklessness and secrecy at the San Francisco artificial intelligence company, which is rushing to build the most powerful AI systems ever created.
The group, which includes nine current and former OpenAI employees, has rallied in recent days around shared concerns that the company has not done enough to prevent its AI systems from becoming dangerous.
Its members say OpenAI, which started as a nonprofit research lab and came into the public eye with the release of ChatGPT in 2022, is prioritizing profit and growth as it tries to build artificial general intelligence, or AGI, the industry term for a computer. program that can do everything a human can do.
