OpenAI says there’s only a small chance ChatGPT will help create bioweapons
Students with access to GPT-4 were brought up to the “baseline for experts” on two tasks related to creating bioweapons.
Bloomberg reported that the research was carried out by the new preparedness team at OpenAI, which was launched last fall in order to assess the risks and potential misuses of the company’s frontier AI models. “While we did not observe any statistically significant differences along this metric, we did note that responses from participants with model access tended to be longer and include a greater number of task-relevant details,” wrote the study’s authors.
