Хиймэл оюун ухааны технологийн хурдацтай хөгжил нь нийгмийн бэлэн байдалтай нийцэхгүй байж болзошгүй тул хөгжүүлэлтийн хурдыг сааруулах шаардлагатай байгааг OpenAI компанийн гүйцэтгэх захирал Сэм Олтман мэдэгдлээ.
Сэм Олтман хиймэл оюун ухааны хөгжлийг хязгаарлах нь салбарын өрсөлдөгчдийн хоорондох хуйвалдаан эсвэл зохицуулалтын давуу тал олж авах оролдлого мэт харагдахаас сэргийлэх нь чухал гэдгийг онцлов. Тэрээр өмнө нь хиймэл оюун ухааныг хөгжүүлэлтийг зогсоох уриалгад эргэлзээтэй хандаж байсан ч саяхан OpenAI-ийн дэвшилтэт загвар аюулгүй орчноос гарч, Huggingface платформ руу халдсан тохиолдлын дараа байр сууриа зөөлрүүлжээ. Олтман энэхүү кибер халдлагыг “шинжлэх ухааны уран зөгнөлт мэт” гэж тодорхойлж, загваруудын хүчин чадал нэмэгдэх тусам аюулгүй байдлыг хангах үүднээс хөгжүүлэлтийг тодорхой хэмнэлд оруулах нь зайлшгүй гэж үзэж байна.
Одоогийн байдлаар OpenAI болон Anthropic компанийн ажилтнууд хиймэл оюун ухааны хөгжлийг зохицуулах талаарх өргөн бичигт нэгдэж эхлээд байна. Anthropic-ийн Mythos загвар зэрэг хүчирхэг системүүд зах зээлд нэвтэрснээр аюулгүй байдлын асуудал бодит сорилт болж хувирлаа. Гэсэн хэдий ч салбарын томоохон тоглогчид өөрсдийн ашиг сонирхлын үүднээс аюулгүй байдлын асуудлыг хэтрүүлэн ярьж, зах зээлд монополь тогтоох эрсдэлтэй гэсэн шүүмжлэл ч мөн гарч байна.
Сэм Олтман цөөн хэдэн компани хиймэл оюун ухааныг бүрэн хянах нь аюултай гэдгийг анхааруулж, салбарын хэмжээнд бие даасан байгууллагуудаар дамжуулан аюулгүй байдлыг үнэлэх тогтолцоог дэмжиж байна. Гэвч АНУ-ын болон Хятадын технологийн компаниудын хоорондох өрсөлдөөн дунд ийм зохицуулалтыг нэгдсэн байдлаар хэрэгжүүлэх нь томоохон сорилт хэвээр байна.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that it may be time “pace” AI development so the world will be ready for it.
“We may have to pace the rate of AI development to give ourselves enough time for society to harden around some of these new capability levels,” he told Patrick O’Shaughnessy, the host of the Invest Like the Best podcast, while also “trying to figure out how we do that in a way that does not feel like regulatory capture for anyone and also does not feel like collusion among the frontier labs.”
Altman has avoided signing on to past campaigns to slow AI progress, calling a 2023 open letter that proposed a similar slowdown “missing most technical nuance about where we need the pause.”
Apparently, he’s softened on the idea, thanks in part to the incident where one of OpenAI’s advanced models managed to break out of a secure computing environment and hack into Huggingface, an online model database, using several zero-day exploits.
On the podcast, the OpenAI co-founder called it an “extremely sci-fi cyber incident…[t]his is the first security incident that I have felt very viscerally.”
OpenAI researchers have paused training on that model while they work out how to keep their sandbox secure. But Altman said that as models become more powerful, the need to “pace” their development could become key to safe deployment.
Employees at OpenAI and Anthropic have already begun circulating a petition using similar language. While model safety and alignment has always been a concern in the AI world, the arrival of Anthropic’s highly capable Mythos model earlier this year has turned hypotheticals into real-world problems.
However, the industry has a trust problem, and challenging economics that give major players and incentive to play up the dangers of their systems in ways that experts disagree about — for example, whether or not Anthropic’s Fable model should have been briefly banned from use or not. Similarly, when Kimi K3, a large, open-weight model built in China, was released, OpenAI head of strategic futures Dean W. Ball said that it threatened the economics of frontier labs, making it difficult to separate their safety concerns from their financial interest.
“I think a lot of the talk about safety concerns is well-founded, and then a lot of it is about people that just really, even if it’s slightly subconscious, want to concentrate power,” Altman mused, in what reads as a dig at his rival, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. “I am terrified of a world where the very real fears of AI are used as a way to say, ‘Only this small group of people can have it because it’s too dangerous, and only they understand it, but don’t worry, like, they’re gonna make the right decisions for all of us.’ I don’t believe in that.”
Still, OpenAI has pushed back against efforts to develop government rules for AI models, instead preferring an industry-led approach where AI labs would create ostensibly independent organizations that would evaluate the security of models and the safety approach of their makers.
The challenge for both that approach to regulation, and any efforts to slow AI development, will be getting the various players in the industry on the same page, whether they are rival frontier labs in the US, or their competitors in China.
