OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told a Senate subcommittee Tuesday that he had concerns about artificial intelligence's possibilities.
Developer creates pro-First Amendment AI to counter ChatGPT's 'political motivations'
ChatGPT has political biases when answering questions, opening the door for competition whose models provide objectivity in their answers, an AI developer said. LOS ANGELES – An AI researcher developed a free speech alternative to ChatGPT and argued that the mainstream model has a liberal bias that prevents it from answering certain questions. "ChatGPT has political motivations, and it's seen through the product," said Arvin Bhangu, who founded the AI model Superintelligence. We've seen where you can ask it give me 10 things Joe Biden has done well and give me 10 things Donald Trump has done well and it refuses to give quality answers for Donald Trump." "Superintelligence is much more in line with the freedom to ask any type of question, so it's much more in line with the First Amendment than ChatGPT," Bhangu said. ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that can write essays, code and more, has been criticized for having politically biased responses.
