Unveiling the Imperfections of OpenAI's Vision-Enabled GPT-4

OpenAI's GPT-4 with vision, which combines text and image analysis, has been revealed to have flaws in a technical paper published by the company. While OpenAI has implemented safeguards to prevent misuse and mitigate biases, the model still struggles with making accurate inferences, hallucinates, and misses text or objects in images. It is not suitable for identifying dangerous substances or chemicals, and it misidentifies certain hate symbols. GPT-4V also exhibits discrimination against certain sexes and body types when safeguards are disabled. OpenAI acknowledges that the model is a work in progress and is working on expanding its capabilities in a safe manner.

Tech Giants Commit to White House AI Safeguards for Secure Future

Seven leading A.I. companies in the United States, including Amazon, Google, and Meta, have agreed to voluntary safeguards on the development of artificial intelligence. The companies will announce their commitment to these new standards at a meeting with President Biden. The safeguards aim to ensure safety, security, and trust in A.I. technology, as concerns grow over the potential spread of disinformation and the risks associated with self-aware computers. The companies have agreed to security testing, implementing watermarks to identify A.I.-generated content, publicly reporting system capabilities and limitations, deploying A.I. tools to tackle societal challenges, and conducting research on risks such as bias and invasion of privacy. The announcement comes as governments worldwide are working on legal and regulatory frameworks for A.I. development.

The Urgent Need for Ethical Guidelines and Regulation of AI.

The Senate held a hearing on regulating AI, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warning about the dangers of the technology. Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Center for AI and Digital Policy, emphasized the need for ethical guidelines and safeguards to limit the risks of AI, including algorithmic biases, disinformation, and societal inequalities. He also noted that AI researchers have expressed concerns about the technology's potential to cause human extinction and the need to address immediate concerns such as embedded bias and discrimination. The benefits of AI are widely acknowledged, but without proper safeguards and limits, the risks could outweigh the benefits.
