OpenAI Forms Team to Anticipate and Prevent Risks of Advanced AI

OpenAI formed a Preparedness team to anticipate and prevent catastrophic risks from advanced AI models like deepfakes or engineered pathogens.

The team will develop policies, conduct risk studies, and build tools to detect, validate, and control risky AI systems.

They aim to ensure AI safety during development and deployment in collaboration with partners like policymakers.

This demonstrates OpenAI's commitment to developing beneficial AI and sets an example for responsible AI risk management.

Managing frontier risks of AI is important to build public trust and prevent harms that could undermine AI's positive impacts.
