FT: Sources say OpenAI cutting corners on AI safety
OpenAI has drastically cut the amount of time allocated for safety testing of its AI models due to competitive pressure from rivals like Meta and Google, according to a report in the Financial Times.
OpenAI is due to release the large version of its o3 “reasoning” model soon, and sources close to the company are raising alarms that the model was not subjected to the same rigorous six-month-long safety assessment that earlier models like GPT-4 were subject to.
The company told the FT that the reduced testing time was a result of efficiencies and automation.
