#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And I also, like, I get why this is such an important issue.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

This is a really important issue.

But that somehow we, like...

Somehow, this is the thing that we get caught up in versus like, what is this going to mean for our future?

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

Now, maybe you say, this is critical to what this is going to mean for our future.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

The thing that it says more characters about this person than this person and who's deciding that and how it's being decided and how the users get control over that.

Maybe that is the most important issue.

But I wouldn't have guessed it at the time when I was like an eight-year-old.

So we finished last summer.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

We immediately started

giving it to people to Red Team.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

We started doing a bunch of our own internal safety EFLs on it.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

We started trying to work on different ways to align it.

And that combination of an internal and external effort, plus building a whole bunch of new ways to align the model.

And we didn't get it perfect by far, but one thing that I care about is that our degree of alignment increases faster than our rate of capability progress.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And that I think will become more and more important over time.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And I think we made reasonable progress there to a more aligned system than we've ever had before.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

I think this is the most capable and most aligned model that we've put out.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

We were able to do a lot of testing on it.
