The Urgency of Halting OpenAI GPT Releases and Extending AI Pause

The Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy has filed a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asking it to stop OpenAI from issuing new commercial releases of GPT-4, citing concerns over bias, deception, and risks to privacy and public safety. The group claims that OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 fails to meet the FTC's standards of transparency, explainability, fairness, and empirical soundness while fostering accountability. The complaint follows an open letter signed by Elon Musk and other AI experts calling for a six-month pause in developing systems more powerful than OpenAI's newly launched GPT-4, citing potential risks to society.
