[OpenAI CEO: the company currently does not train GPT-5 nor will it train in the short term] according to TheVerge, at an event at MIT, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was asked about an open letter that recently circulated in the tech world asking laboratories like OpenAI to suspend the development of more powerful artificial intelligence systems than GPT-4. Altman said the letter "lacks technical details about what we need to pause," and Altman confirmed that the company is not currently training GPT-5 and will not do so for some time. The lack of current development of GPT-5 will not be any comfort to people worried about AI security. But the company is still expanding the potential of GPT-4 (for example, by connecting it to the Internet).
