GPT 5 is not for tomorrow, confirms OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, confirms that the company is still not working on the successor to GPT 4.

Growing Concerns

At a conference hosted by the Indian newspaper Economic Times, Altman explained that there is still a long way to go before OpenAI brings the model to market and that the company is working on ideas that it believes are necessary.

These statements are part of the growing concern about the rapid rise and possibilities of artificial intelligence. Although a number of big names in the industry signed an open letter in March urging each other and the rest of the world to put AI research on hold for at least six months. Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, among others, signed this call. A letter Altman said lacked some technical nuances.

What you do yourself

According to him, OpenAI has already assessed many possible risks. For example, the company takes measures such as external audits and security tests. Altman also doesn’t think there’s a need to restrict smaller AI startups with strict rules.

Travel around India

The conference wasn’t Sam Altman’s only goal in India. He also meets with policymakers and industry peers to discuss the potential dangers and abuses of AI and how to protect against it.

Although Altman sometimes seems a little against concerns about AI, he shares them. He was recently part of an industry group that published a statement on the risks of artificial intelligence and shared a recent blog with some colleagues from OpenAI, highlighting the potential implications for the job market.
