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

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

So we finished last summer.

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

We immediately started

giving it to people to Red Team.

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

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – 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.

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

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

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

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

And that takes a while.

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

And I totally get why people were like, give us GPT-4 right away.

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

But I'm happy we did it this way.

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

So I want to be very clear.

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

I do not think we have yet discovered a way to align a super powerful system.

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

We have something that works for our current scale called RLHF.

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

And we can talk a lot about the benefits of that and the utility it provides.

It's not just an alignment.
