One of the important names in the world of artificial intelligence OpenAI, has been on the agenda in recent days with the issue of Sam Altman’s sudden resignation and his return to the company by any means necessary. What actually happened is officially behind us, but echoes continues.

The latest news helps us guess why exactly Sam Altman was fired. The board has made a statement about this to trust Even though he made the apology, according to a report published by Reuters news, revealed that the truth of the matter could be very different. Accordingly, OpenAI is currently very large is working on a model for artificial intelligence.

The main problem that led to Sam Altman’s dismissal may have been the artificial intelligence model called “Q*”.

According to sources, a group of artificial intelligence researchers working within OpenAI made a statement to the board of directors before the events broke out. wrote a letter. This letter also contained information that a new artificial intelligence model was being worked on. Now “Q*The model, also called “, was aimed at solving simple mathematical problems.

But Q* wasn’t just about that. According to the employees who wrote the letter, the new model is actually a artificial general intelligence (AGI) and even had the potential to threaten humanity. Yes, the GPT model, which focuses on verbal data, was successful in making predictions, but when it comes to math things were changing. Because industry sources say that artificial intelligence’s ability to think mathematically is thanks to algorithms.will humanize‘ they believe. Scientists fear that artificial intelligence technologies with mathematical thinking ability can make decisions independently.

Reportedly, Sam Altman did not inform the board of directors about Q*!

This is what he told Reuters: anonymous sources According to their claims, this is exactly why Sam Altman was fired from the company. According to the statements in the letter, Sam Altman and his team did not inform the board of directors of their discovery of a potentially risky artificial intelligence model. When this situation became known, Sam Altman responded and, so to speak, Director coup finished. However, Sam Altman managed to repel the coup and return to the company.

However…

who want to investigate the incident The edge That’s what Reuters sources say backwards has found an answer. When interviewing sources familiar with the matter, The Verge received the following response from the source in question: “The board has never received such a letter about such an AI model. The company’s work in artificial intelligence never led to Sam Altman being fired. not caused.“
