OpenAI claims that their mission is &#8220;to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity&#8221; but how will they ensure such beneficence? They no longer have any like an open ethics strategy. Its now just safety and security.<\/p>\n<p>I should add that OpenAI shared a <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/openai-safety-update\/\">safety update<\/a> as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/aiseoulsummit.kr\/\">AI Seoul Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI has announced the formation of a Safety and Security Committee.
