ChatGPT Developer Predicts “SuperIntelligent” AI Will Arrive This Decade | BitPinas

• OpenAI announced through a blog post that it is set to form a “Superalignment” team, a group that will develop ways to control superintelligence.
• Superintelligence can develop its own cognitive and thinking skills, thus having the potential to be the most influential technology for humanity, and it may help solve many of the world’s important problems.
• For OpenAI, humans do not have a solution for steering or controlling a potentially superintelligent AI.

“While superintelligence seems far off now, we believe it could arrive this decade.”

This is the statement of OpenAI, the developer behind the popular language model (LM) ChatGPT, as the team announced forming a team that aims to develop ways to steer and control “superintelligent” AI systems.

What is SuperIntelligence? 

A SuperIntelligent AI is considered to be the future of AI, as it has abilities that surpass human intelligence. 

Basically, Superintelligence can develop its own cognitive and thinking skills, thus having the potential to be the most influential technology for humanity, and it may help solve many of the world’s important problems.

However, OpenAI admitted, “the vast power of superintelligence could also be very dangerous and could lead to the disempowerment of humanity or even human extinction.”

And what is more alarming is that the developer acknowledged that humans do not have a solution for steering or controlling a potentially superintelligent AI, and preventing it from going rogue.

“Our current techniques for aligning AI, such as reinforcement learning from human feedback, rely on humans’ ability to supervise AI. But humans won’t be able to reliably supervise AI systems much smarter than us, and so our current alignment techniques will not scale to superintelligence,” OpenAI emphasized.

OpenAI’s Solution

For OpenAI, the community needs new scientific and technical breakthroughs.

With this, the developer announced that it will be forming a “Superalignment” team, a group that will aim to develop ways to control superintelligence. This team is co-led by Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s co-founder and chief scientist, and Jan Leike, OpenAI’s alignment team lead, and they have allocated 20% of the computing power that OpenAI has secured so far for this effort.

“Our goal is to build a roughly human-level automated alignment researcher. We can then use vast amounts of compute to scale our efforts, and iteratively align superintelligence,” the developer explained. 

Furthermore, OpenAI disclosed that it is planning to align the first automated alignment researcher by:

• Using AI systems to assist in evaluating other AI systems to provide training signals for tasks that are difficult for humans to evaluate.
• Understanding how supervision generalizes tasks that they cannot supervise,
• Exploring problematic behaviors or internal states to validate the alignment of their system.
• Testing the entire pipeline by intentionally training unaligned models and making sure that their techniques can detect the worst kinds of alignment mismatches.

In line with this, OpenAI also announced that it is looking for outstanding new researchers and engineers to join the said effort, most likely those that have experienced with machine learning.

“Superintelligence alignment is fundamentally a machine learning problem, and we think great machine learning experts—even if they’re not already working on alignment—will be critical to solving it,” the ChatGPT developer concluded.

ChatGPT’s Ethical Considerations

In our recent AI articles, we tackled multiple times that ChatGPT and other generative AI tools have been receiving backlash recently as they raise ethical issues. For some, these tools could be used for misinformation, data privacy violations, and even spreading hate. 

In fact, just last month, OpenAI temporarily disabled the “Search with Bing” feature after receiving reports that the feature is being used to obtain information from websites that require payment to access.

Just imagine, if these AI tools are already committing blunders, how much more is the uncontrolled superintelligence do?
