Not long following the open letter led by Elon Musk to stop AI training was issued, OpenAI, the representative company of this round of AI boom, ushered in another public challenge.earlier non-profit organizationCenter for Artificial Intelligence and Digital PolicyFiled a complaint with the US FTC, claiming that large-scale language AI models such as GPT-4 released by OpenAI violated the FTC Act. The reason given is that these models are “biased and deceptive” and will threaten privacy and public safety. At the same time, they do not meet the FTC’s requirements for AI to be transparent, fair and easy to understand.
The center wants the FTC to investigate OpenAI and suspend subsequent releases of large language models until they meet the FTC’s guidelines. They also suggested that OpenAI must introduce independent audits before launching GPT products and services, and suggested that the FTC establish a formal standard for incident reporting systems and generative AI. Neither the FTC nor OpenAI has yet responded to the matter.
It is worth mentioning that Marc Rotenberg, chairman of the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy, also signed the open letter mentioned at the beginning. He advocates for a six-month shutdown of AI researchers to allow time for research and discussion on the ethics of superpowerful AI. At present, ChatGPT-like robots are in the limelight for a while, but there are already many critics in the market, who believe that there are errors, prejudice, hate speech and other problems in their output results. In fact, OpenAI itself has warned that AI may “reinforce” the user’s thinking, regardless of whether the information it outputs is correct or not. Users should double-check its content, but at this point, current users don’t seem to care that much.
