OpenAI Chief Scientist Warns: AI May Soon Enter Self-Improvement Phase, Hopes Industry Will Voluntarily Slow Down
Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's Chief Scientist, warned that AI is evolving too quickly, making it increasingly difficult for humans to understand and control. He called on laboratories to voluntarily slow down development for safety reasons. He stated that models will soon be able to self-improve, and they can already operate computers, collaborate with humans and AI, and conduct research projects.
