OpenAI's GPT-4 Is Closed Source and Shrouded in Secrecy

Stable Diffusion was trained on LAION-5B, an open-source dataset, which resulted in the public being able to see if their own images were included in the dataset. GPT-4's release is the latest volley from OpenAI in an AI arms race. Big tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are racing to create new AI technologies as fast as possible, often sidestepping or shrugging off ethical concerns along the way. Google announced on Wednesday that its language model PaLM would be launching an API for businesses and developers to use. Meanwhile, Microsoft cut an entire ethics and society team within its AI department, as part of its recent layoffs, leaving the company without a dedicated responsible AI team, while it continues to adopt OpenAI products as part of its business.
