OpenAI has begun preparing a new advanced AI model and formed a Security and Defense Committee, focusing on further development of capabilities towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
New AI Model
OpenAI Intentions
Research company OpenAI has started training the next flagship model of artificial intelligence, with aims to achieve a new level of capabilities on the way to creating artificial general intelligence (AGI). At the same time, they formed a Safety and Security Committee to ensure proper oversight and management of the projects.
Tasks of the Committee
The newly created Security and Protection Committee will provide recommendations to the OpenAI Board on risk issues and security of their projects in the field of artificial intelligence. The Committee's primary task is to assess and improve the company's processes and safeguards over the next 90 days. At the end of this period, they must share their findings and recommendations with the Board, and OpenAI will publicly announce the decisions made.
Committee composition
The committee will be headed by directors Bret Taylor, Adam D'Angelo, Nicole Seligman and CEO and co-founder Sam Altman. The company's technical and political experts will also be included in the composition, including Jakub Pakhotsky, who replaced Ilya Sutzkever as chief scientific officer. In addition, the Committee will consult with other external security experts.
Prerequisites for the changes
These steps of OpenAI take place against the background of last year's events related to the company's management. In November 2023, Sam Altman was temporarily suspended as CEO due to problems with candor in communication with the board of directors. However, according to the media, the real reason was the disagreement between Altman and Ilya Sutskever about priorities: security or the promotion of new technologies.

It will be interesting to see how OpenAI copes with the new challenges in the field of AI. 🤔 I hope they will be more open and transparent in their work on the new model.
Юрій
Of course, the development of AGI is an exciting path, but I am concerned about safety and ethics. 🧐 How to guarantee that the new model will not be used for malicious purposes? Does OpenAI have adequate controls in place?
Марта
I wonder if the new OpenAI model will be able to understand complex human emotions and context? 🤔 This is a key problem on the road to AGI. For example, will she be able to recognize sarcasm or subtext in communication?
Оскар
I would love to hear more details about how they plan to secure and control the new model. 😕 Will they impose certain restrictions or rules of use? This is very important for public trust.
Зиґмунт
And are these newfangled things really useful? 😒 Instead of wasting energy on AGI, it would be better to improve existing technologies that already benefit people. I do not believe in these fantasies about superintelligence.
Ева
Zygmunt, I understand your concern, but progress in AI is inevitable. 💡 Instead of resisting change, it's better to focus on making it safe and manageable. Only in this way will we be able to maximize the benefits of new technologies.
Юрій
Totally agree with Eva. The development of AGI opens up new opportunities for solving global problems of humanity. 🌍 Imagine if we could use it to fight climate change, disease or even hunger! But everything depends on the ethical approach.
Марта
I'm very interested in how OpenAI plans to provide context and emotion understanding in its new model. 🤔 This is a key problem on the road to AGI. For example, will she be able to recognize sarcasm or ulterior motives in communication between people? This will be a real breakthrough! 🚀
