OpenAI says that it will one day be able to use AI to make itself more safe – but that it will require a series of urgent changes.
The company has publicly said that it wants to build “an automated AI researcher” and use it work on the “alignment problem”, or the difficulty of ensuring that artificial intelligence behaves in way that are in keeping with human ethics. That works is becoming “increasingly important as AI systems grow more capable and autonomous, including as they take on more of AI research and development itself”, OpenAI said.
