ChatGPT creator OpenAI is hiring a “head of preparedness” as it looks to deal with the dangers of artificial intelligence.
“This will be a stressful job,” said Sam Altman, the company’s chief executive, as he announced that the company was looking to deal with the “real challenges” posed by the technologies it has built.
OpenAI has sometimes been accused of inflating the power and danger of its technology as a way of promoting its tools and encouraging investment. But it has also been the subject of genuine concerns over the last year.
Those have included worries that vulnerable people are turning to AI systems such as ChatGPT to help in times of emotional crisis, and that the technology could in fact exacerbate those mental health troubles.
