Coin Telegraph

As fundraising unfolds, OpenAI’s valuation is expected to reach $150 billion. Several tech giants, including Apple and Nvidia, are reportedly backing the round.

Artificial intelligence startup OpenAI is in advanced talks with investors to secure $6.5 billion in funding, which would raise its valuation to $150 billion.

According to a Sept. 11 Bloomberg report citing sources familiar with the matter, the new valuation does not include the money being raised.

The new figure is well above the $86 billion valuation from the company’s tender offer in February.

Area 51 for AI? US gov secures early access to cutting edge models

September 1, 2024 Coin Telegraph

AGI

It’s unclear whether the government would be required to inform the general public in the event an AI model becomes sentient.

Artificial intelligence firms OpenAI and Anthropic recently agreed to give the US AI Safety Institute early access to any “major” new AI models developed by their respective firms.

While the deal was purportedly signed over mutual safety concerns, it’s unclear exactly what the government’s role would be in the event of a technology breakthrough with significant safety implications.

OpenAI CEO and cofounder Sam Altman regarded the deal as a necessary step in a recent post on the X social media platform.

After previously opposing another AI-related bill, SB 1047, OpenAI has expressed support for AB 3211, which would require watermarks on AI-generated content.

The artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, which is behind the ChatGPT chatbot, reportedly supports a new bill that proposes labeling content generated with AI.

OpenAI chief strategy officer Jason Kwon has expressed support for the bill AB 3211, which would require watermarks in the metadata of AI-generated photos, videos and audio clips, Reuters reported on Aug. 26.

According to the source, Kwon believes that marking AI-made material will help users differentiate such content from human-made content. The report noted that the enforcement of the bill would particularly be helpful amid growing misinformation about political candidates.

The law appears more corporate-friendly, but the implications for consumers are a bit murkier.

California lawmakers have amended a controversial bill that would hold artificial intelligence firms accountable for harms caused by their products in response to industry criticism. However, it’s unclear if the state’s concessions will be enough to convince naysayers in the tech industry.

The bill, called the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act (SB-1074), essentially seeks to protect whistleblowers and empower the state of California to intervene if it has reason to believe an AI-related catastrophe is going to occur.

As Cointelegraph recently reported, the tech industry is in a bit of an uproar over the bill’s stipulations, with many tech luminaries saying it would stifle innovation and growth.

AI researchers want to solve the bot problem by requiring ID to use the internet

August 16, 2024 Coin Telegraph

artificial intelligence

The researchers based their ideas on “proof of personhood” technologies developed by the blockchain community.

Artificial intelligence researchers are worried that AI bots are eventually going to take over the internet and spread like a digital invasive species. Rather than approach the problem by attempting to limit the proliferation of bots and AI-generated content, one team decided to go in the opposite direction.

In a recently published preprint paper, dozens of researchers advocate for a system by which humans would need to have their humanity verified in-person by another human in order to obtain “personhood credentials”

The big idea appears to be the creation of a system wherein someone could prove they were human without having to disclose their identity or any further information. If that sounds familiar to those of you in the crypto community, it’s because the research is based on “proof of personhood” blockchain technologies.

The warning shows that developers are aware that anthropomorphization is a legitimate concern in the AI industry.

When a safety tester working with OpenAI’s GPT-4o sent a message to the chatbot stating “this is our last day together,” it became clear to company researchers that some form of bonding had happened between the AI and the human using it.

In a blog post detailing the company’s safety efforts in developing GPT-4o, the flagship model for ChatGPT users, the company explained that these bonds could pose risks to humanity.
