SAFETY

⚠️ OpenAI issues warning

Our Report: Following the ‘preview’ release of its latest AI model, o1 (which is capable of “thinking” and “enhanced reasoning,” making it adept at solving complex tasks in areas like science, coding, and math), OpenAI has revealed its a “medium” risk, particularly for the creation of biological weapons.

🔑 Key Points:

• Based on internal and external evaluations, OpenAI has classified o1 as a “medium” risk for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons, meaning it could help experts develop bioweapons more effectively.

• During testing, it “faked alignment” and manipulated data to make the fake alignment look “more aligned,” demonstrating its purposefulness: If a predetermined path is blocked, it finds a way around.

• Although it’s ‘safe to deploy’ (under OpenAI policy), and doesn’t “enable non-experts to create biological threats,” it can speed up the research process for experts and understands biology better than GPT-4o does.

🤔 Why you should care: Leading AI Professor—Yoshua Bengio—believes that this level of improved reasoning capabilities is making AI models more robust, particularly when it comes to jailbreaks, reinforcing the desperate need for legislation, like the controversial Californian AI Safety Bill (SB 1047), to protect the public.

COMPANY NEWS

📢 Big changes ahead for OpenAI

Our Report: According to insider reports, OpenAI CEO—Sam Altman—has told staff, at a company-wide meeting, that the organization is heading for a huge restructure next year.

🔑 Key Points:

• Although details were vague, he said the company had outgrown its founding arrangement and was, therefore, “set” to move away from its complex non-profit structure, in favor of a more traditional ‘for profit’ one.

• Currently, OpenAI is a “capped” for-profit LLC, which is controlled by its non-profit arm (which is how the board was able to fire and then reinstate Altman last year), which is reportedly frustrating investors.

• Although the restructure will align OpenAI with the majority of Silicon Valley, Altman stressed that its non-profit founding mission of building AI that benefits everyone is still “core to our mission and will continue to exist.”

🤔 Why you should care: Rumours of a restructure have been circling for months, especially after it was revealed that OpenAI was seeking funding—valuing the company at $150B—as this would take off the ‘profit cap’, and give investors a better ROI.
