OpenAI has published its first paper on super-alignment, exploring the huge challenges and opportunities that super-artificial intelligence could bring. The paper proposes the concept of "weak to strong generalization" and demonstrates the feasibility of GPT-2 supervising GPT-4 through experiments. However, it also reveals the huge difficulty in weak supervision of superhuman models. To promote research in this field, OpenAI generously announced a $10 million grant to encourage global artificial intelligence researchers to actively participate and jointly address the potential risks posed by super artificial intelligence. This is a milestone for research in the field of artificial intelligence security.
This research and funding plan from OpenAI not only points out the direction for artificial intelligence safety research, but also highlights its commitment to the responsible development of artificial intelligence technology. In the future, how to effectively supervise and control super artificial intelligence will become a key challenge facing the field of artificial intelligence, requiring sustained efforts and cooperation on a global scale.
