Mira Murati, who previously worked behind the scenes at ChatGPT-maker OpenAI as CTO, has been appointed as the company's interim CEO with immediate effect as the company seeks a permanent replacement.
Murati, in an interview with Time magazine, addressed the challenges encountered while working with ChatGPT. The primary concern she said lies in the model potentially generating inaccurate information, which is a common issue with such large neural networks.
Regarding ChatGPT's current role in problem-solving, Murati cautiously stated that the technology is currently under research review. However, she envisioned its potential to revolutionize education by offering personalized learning experiences.
Addressing the controversy around ChatGPT's use in some educational institutions, Murati acknowledged that the technology's widespread accessibility may yield both positive and negative outcomes. This diversity of usage could lead to surprising and unforeseen uses of the technology.
The Time interview delved into the ethical implications of AI technology. Murati emphasized the need for extensive discussions involving various fields such as philosophy, social sciences, and humanities. She stressed the importance of aligning AI with human values to prevent misuse by bad actors.
Murati advocated for broader involvement beyond tech companies in shaping AI governance. While stressing the responsibility of companies like OpenAI, she emphasized the necessity for input from regulators, governments, and diverse stakeholders to ensure responsible use aligned with societal values.
Murati highlighted the importance of early engagement by policymakers and regulators. She emphasized to Time the significant impact AI technologies will have, urging proactive involvement to shape their ethical and societal implications.
Murati highlighted the pivotal role of forthcoming technologies linked to artificial general intelligence (AGI), deeming them possibly "the most crucial set of technologies humanity has ever built."
During the Atlantic Festival, Murati projected a future where interactions with AI, specifically ChatGPT, would transcend traditional input methods. "We want to move further away from our current interaction," she stated.
The focus, according to Murati, lies in advancing AI capabilities towards independent thinking. She underscored the need for "new ideas" to progress towards a generally intelligent system, capable of abstract thinking akin to groundbreaking theories like general relativity.
Murati highlighted the aim for heightened accuracy in AI responses, surpassing even scientific-level precision, indicating a future where users could understand the rationale behind the AI's answers through a chain of reasoning.
Murati highlighted the risks and opportunities posed by evolving AI. She discussed the potential for AI-powered personalized learning experiences, offering tailored education adapted to individual learning styles.
Anticipating the impending AI revolution, Murati also emphasized the role of governance and public engagement in shaping its impact.She noted ongoing discussions about the AI revolution's influence on the workforce, acknowledging the necessity for continuous efforts and changes.
