Summary
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman agrees with the call for a pause in AI research but criticizes the lack of technical nuance in an open letter signed by tech leaders like Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak. Altman believes caution and increased rigor for safety issues are important, but thinks the letter was not the optimal way to address the issue. The letter called for a pause in training experiments connected to large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4, and for the development of shared safety protocols for advanced AI design and development. Altman also expressed concerns about safety issues in AI technology beyond GPT-4 that were not addressed in the letter.
