Holden Karnofsky on GPT-4 and the perils of AI safety - Vox

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced the release of GPT-4, its latest, biggest language model, only a few months after the splashy release of ChatGPT. GPT-4 was already in action -- Microsoft has been using it to power Bing's new assistant function. The people behind OpenAI have written that they think the best way to handle powerful AI systems is to develop and release them as quickly as possible, and that's certainly what they're doing. Also on Tuesday, I sat down with Holden Karnofsky, the co-founder and co-CEO of Open Philanthropy, to talk about AI and where it's taking us. Karnofsky, in my view, should get a lot of credit for his prescient views on AI.
