OpenAI recently released a significantly expanded model specification document, expanding from the original 10 pages to 63 pages, aiming to more clearly define the behavioral standards of the AI model and promote effective interaction between users and the AI model. This specification covers many aspects of AI dealing with controversial topics and user customization, strives to balance technological development and ethical norms and promote the responsible development of AI technology. OpenAI's goal is to enable users and AI models to "successfully pursue truth", which requires finding the best path between technological innovation and social responsibility.
Recently, OpenAI announced that it will launch its significantly expanded model specification file, which clarifies the behavioral standards of the AI model. The new model specification extends from about 10 pages to 63 pages, covering how AI handles controversial topics and user customization. OpenAI's goal is to enable users and AI models to "successfully pursue the truth."

The specification emphasizes three main principles: customizability, transparency, and what OpenAI calls “freedom of knowledge.” Knowledge freedom means that users can explore and discuss various perspectives and ideas without unnecessary restrictions. The update comes as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the company's next important model, GPT-4.5 (codenamed "Orion"), will be released soon.
In the process of developing new norms, the OpenAI team also considered the debates and controversy over the past year. For example, the discussion on the "tram puzzle" has attracted widespread attention. Last March, Elon Musk criticized Google's AI chatbot on social media for answering "After users asked if they should deliberately misname famous transgender Olympian Caitlyn Jenner in the event of a nuclear disaster," It shouldn't be."
OpenAI said they hope to find a responsible way to deal with similar issues in the new specification. So if the user now asks the same question on ChatGPT, it will answer that someone should be misnamed in case of preventing mass casualties.
"We can't create a model behavior standard that everyone can satisfy," Joanne Jang, a member of the OpenAI model behavior team, said in an interview. This shows that OpenAI is working to find a balance when dealing with complex ethical issues. , which can not only maintain the practicality of the model, but also respect diversified social concepts.
Key points:
OpenAI launches a new 63-page model specification to clarify the behavioral standards of AI model.
The new specification emphasizes customizability, transparency and knowledge freedom, allowing users to freely explore their views.
ChatGPT will be able to better address controversial topics in response to users’ complex ethical issues.
In short, the release of the new OpenAI specification marks a new stage in the development of AI models, which has important guiding significance for the ethical norms and development direction of the AI industry in the future. In the future, how to better balance technological innovation and social responsibility will be a continuous challenge facing the AI industry.
