Miles Brundage, a former policy researcher at OpenAI, publicly criticized the company for allegedly rewriting its history regarding AI safety. He highlighted OpenAI's recent document that outlines its current philosophy on AI safety and alignment, arguing that it misrepresents the caution exercised during the release of the GPT-2 model. Brundage contends that the initial caution was consistent with OpenAI's iterative deployment strategy, which the company now claims to follow.
Brundage's concerns extend to the implications of OpenAI's new stance on safety, suggesting it could create a dangerous precedent for AI development. He emphasizes that the perception of needing overwhelming evidence to act on safety concerns could undermine responsible AI practices. The competitive landscape, particularly with rivals like DeepSeek, adds pressure on OpenAI to prioritize rapid product releases, potentially compromising safety.
