OpenAI has announced a new preparedness team that will help monitor and protect against the “catastrophic risks” associated with AI, such as nuclear threats.
OpenAI is forming a new team to mitigate the “catastrophic risks” associated with AI. In an update on Thursday, OpenAI says the preparedness team will “track, evaluate, forecast, and protect” against potentially major issues caused by AI, including nuclear threats. The team will also work to mitigate “chemical, biological, and radiological threats,” as well as “autonomous replication,” or the act of an AI replicating itself.
“But they also pose increasingly severe risks.” Aleksander Madry, who is currently on leave from his role as the director of MIT’s Center for Deployable Machine Learning, will lead the preparedness team. OpenAI notes that the preparedness team will also develop and maintain a “risk-informed development policy,” which will outline what the company is doing to evaluate and monitor AI models. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned of the potential for catastrophic events caused by AI before.
