[Core values change, OpenAI enters AGI]
In recent weeks, OpenAI has quietly changed its list of "core values" to include general artificial intelligence (AGI) that was not explicitly listed before.
According to Semafor, the company listed its values as "Audacious, Thoughtful, Unpretentious, Impact-driven, Collaborative, Growth-oriented" on its job board on its job board on September 21. ”
The original set of core values has been in use since at least January 2022.
However, when people visit the page now, they see a completely different list, not only from the "Big Six" to the "Big Five," but also the content is swapped: AGI focus, Intense and scrappy, Scale, Make something people love, Team spirit.
While some of the old core values seem to have been incorporated into the new core values, others lack clear replacements.
At this time, AGI was at the top of the list... Refers to a form of artificial intelligence that can understand, learn, and perform any intellectual task that humans can accomplish.
In fact, back in February, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a company blog post that AGI can be broadly defined as "a system that is generally smarter than humans," but in an interview with New York magazine last month, he downgraded AGI to define it as "equivalent to a medium-level human who can be hired as a colleague."
Experts disagree on the feasibility of general AI and when it might happen. Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of AI, estimates that AI development could take up to two decades.
At present, OpenAI has developed some breakthrough and influential AI systems, such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc., which have demonstrated strong capabilities in natural language processing, image generation, and visual recognition. However, these systems cannot yet be called true AGI because they still have some limitations and flaws.
When OpenAI was founded in 2015, Sam Altman defined it as a nonprofit research lab that aims to build good AI to fight bad AI.
However, over time and the company's slow development, although the company still pays lip service to achieve its original goals, its shift from nonprofit AI to for-profit causes also led to Musk's exit in 2019, and this shift in goals seems to seep into its self-description.
It is reported that in the latest report, OpenAI's annualized turnover has exceeded $1.3 billion. #妙笔生花创作挑战#
