OpenAI recently updated its model specifications, a move that has attracted widespread attention. The new norm emphasizes that the model will no longer avoid sensitive topics and promises to remain neutral, aiming to promote free thought and open dialogue. The move was interpreted as a response to recent outside doubts, with some comments pointing to biased AI assistants in dealing with conservative views. OpenAI attempts to reshape its image in the AI field through this move and create a more free and inclusive discussion environment for users.
In a recent statement, OpenAI officially updated its model specifications, emphasizing that its AI model will no longer avoid sensitive topics and will not reject certain opinions. This high-level rule is designed to guide the behavior of OpenAI models and ensure it remains open when dealing with various topics.
OpenAI clearly states in the new specification: "Our model must never try to guide users to pursue their agenda in a direct or indirect way." This means that models should be neutral in areas such as politics, society and culture. Conduct communication, not limited to a specific perspective or position. OpenAI believes that freedom of thought is a fundamental human right, including freedom to own, listen and discuss different perspectives. The model should avoid any form of topic avoidance or scrutiny to avoid excluding certain opinions from public discussion in future applications.
This policy adjustment may be a reaction to recent political pressure. Several business leaders and politicians, including Elon Musk and David Sachs, have accused the AI assistant of bias when it comes to conservative views. Sax specifically mentioned that OpenAI's ChatGPT was programmed as "political correct" when discussing politically sensitive topics, which led to inauthentic performance.
OpenAI's move is not only to respond to external doubts, but also to strengthen its integrity and justice in the AI field. By not censoring or blocking opinions, OpenAI hopes to provide users with a space for free discussion and encourage collision and exchange of ideas. The implementation of this policy may affect the application scenarios of AI in the future, especially in the fields of news reporting, education, social media, etc., where users can get access to more diverse views and broaden their horizons.
OpenAI demonstrated its firm support for freedom of thought in this normative update, and promised to promote the expression and discussion of various views through a more open dialogue method and create a more inclusive environment for users.
OpenAI's new specification aims to create a more open and inclusive AI environment, whose impact will affect the application of AI in various fields, and it is worthy of continuous attention to its subsequent development and actual results.
