OpenAI suggests voluntary AI standards, not government mandates, to ensure AI safety
Fox News contributor Joe Concha joins "Fox & Friends First" to discuss Elon Musk's warning that AI could threaten elections and his concerns on the declining birth rate. The top lawyer for OpenAI, the company that developed ChatGPT, argued that the best way to regulate artificial intelligence is not to start with government mandated rules and regulations but to allow the companies themselves to set standards that ensure AI is used safely and responsibly. OpenAI General Counsel Jason Kwon made that argument during a Tuesday panel discussion in Washington, D.C., which was hosted by BSA/The Software Alliance, even as he acknowledged that AI is developing so quickly that it can often lead to unexpected results that companies quickly need to rein in. Still, when asked what his message to policymakers was, Kwon recommended voluntary, industry-led standards for AI, calling for a tactic that many companies in most industries tend to favor over government mandates. The top lawyer at OpenAI, run by CEO Sam Altman, above, said this week that the company recommends voluntary industry standards to regulate AI, not government mandates.
A Radical Plan to Make AI Good, Not Evil
It's easy to freak out about more advanced artificial intelligence--and much more difficult to know what to do about it. Anthropic, a startup founded in 2021 by a group of researchers who left OpenAI, says it has a plan. Anthropic is working on AI models similar to the one used to power OpenAI's ChatGPT. But the startup announced today that its own chatbot, Claude, has a set of ethical principles built in that define what it should consider right and wrong, which Anthropic calls the bot's "constitution." Jared Kaplan, a cofounder of Anthropic, says the design feature shows how the company is trying to find practical engineering solutions to sometimes fuzzy concerns about the downsides of more powerful AI. "We're very concerned, but we also try to remain pragmatic," he says.
If a Press Release Says "Artificial Intelligence," There's a Good Chance It's Meaningless
This article is from Big Technology, a newsletter by Alex Kantrowitz. You can already see the machine at work. Corporations, politicians, threadbois, and "thought leaders" are probing and prodding, searching desperately for ways to use surging curiosity about all things artificial intelligence to mask problems, gain favor with the public, and monetize attention. This A.I.-PR industrial complex is growing larger and worse than its predecessors--even crypto!--because the technology is making anything seem possible. With so much opportunity, vacuousness fills the gaps, and exploitation follows.
OpenAI improves ChatGPT privacy with new data controls
The company announced today that the AI chatbot's users can now turn off their chat histories, preventing their input from being used for training data. The controls, which roll out "starting today," can be found under ChatGPT user settings under a new section labeled Data Controls. After toggling the switch off for "Chat History & Training," you'll no longer see your recent chats in the sidebar. Even with the history and training turned off, OpenAI says it will still store your chats for 30 days. It does this to prevent abuse, with the company saying it will only review them if it needs to monitor them.

ChatGPT for health care providers: Can the AI chatbot make the professionals' jobs easier?
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that he was "a little bit scared" of ChatGPT and admitted that his technology would likely destroy "a lot of current jobs." In addition to writing articles, songs and code in mere seconds, ChatGPT could potentially make its way into your doctor's office -- if it hasn't already. The artificial intelligence-based chatbot, released by OpenAI in December 2022, is a natural language processing (NLP) model that draws on information from the web to produce answers in a clear, conversational format. While it's not intended to be a source of personalized medical advice, patients are able to use ChatGPT to get information on diseases, medications and other health topics. Some experts even believe the technology could help physicians provide more efficient and thorough patient care.

Google CEO Believes Society is Not Ready for AI Advancement
While speaking on CBS's 60 Minutes, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that society is not ready for the rapid advancement of AI (Artificial Intelligence). The advancement of AI, according to Pichai, will have an impact on "every product of every company."
