OpenAI not on track to reduce risk of ‘catastrophic’ loss of control, says board member
OpenAI board member Paul Christiano warns of catastrophic loss of control to AI, saying the industry is not on track to reduce this risk to an acceptable level.
Christiano, a US government technology adviser, made the statement as he joined OpenAI's non-profit foundation, where he will sit on the committee that provides governance over safety and security practices.
The warning comes amid growing public and political concern that super-advanced AIs could one day wipe out humanity, with predictions for when this might happen varying from several years to over a decade.
