OPENAI'S EX-POLICY LEAD CRITICIZES THE COMPANY FOR 'REWRITING' ITS AI SAFETY HISTORY

Former OpenAI researcher Miles Brundage criticized the company for downplaying its cautious approach with GPT-2, which he claims aligns with today's deployment strategy. OpenAI's recent document outlines a continuous approach to AGI development, but Brundage warns this could lead to dismissing valid safety concerns. Competitive pressures could tempt OpenAI to prioritize faster releases over safety, raising questions about long-term risks.
