OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman recently promoted the latest version of GPT-4o, emphasizing its enhanced capabilities in coding and instruction following. However, critics argue that the pressing issue is not bias but the potential for AI-driven censorship. This discussion arises as digital rights advocates highlight the dangers of vague content policies that could suppress free speech.
The upgrade to GPT-4o includes advanced image-generation features and updated safety measures, aiming to balance creative freedom with necessary restrictions. Altman's comments come in the wake of controversies surrounding AI tools from companies like Google and Adobe, which faced backlash for perceived biases in their outputs. Experts warn that without clear guidelines, AI technologies risk enabling digital repression while claiming to promote freedom.
