OpenAI went through a hell of a week, having fired and rehired Sam Altman in less than seven days. The CEO drama seems to be over, for now at least. As ChatGPT users, we all deserve an explanation of what has just happened between the OpenAI board and the CEO.
We need to know whether OpenAI has made any big AI breakthroughs that might have worried the board. Also, we need to know that the new board will continue to defend the non-profit's main goal, which is for the company to develop safe AI that can serve humankind.
The worry is that AI can get out of hand once it reaches artificial general intelligence (AGI). It could become a superintelligence that might deem humans an existential threat.
It sounds like the scenario from various sci-fi movies, I agree. But then I read an incredibly detailed piece about what happened at OpenAI last week and humanity's collective worries about dangerous AI. It made me realize the ugly truth about our quest to achieve AGI.
Once we make AI that's as good as humans at solving problems, it might hide itself from us if it's the kind of misaligned AI everyone fears.
