Former Board Member Helen Toner Shares What Really Happened at OpenAI | The TED AI Show @TED #ted
Former Board Member Helen Toner recently sat down with The TED AI Show to share insights into what really happened at OpenAI. Toner revealed that the board at OpenAI was not a typical board, as it was a nonprofit board established to prioritize the company’s public good mission over profits and investor interests. However, when Chat GPT was launched in November 2022, the board was not informed in advance and only learned about it through Twitter.
OpenAI, initially focused on doing good, has since transitioned to a for-profit model and is now at the forefront of the AI industry. This shift has brought to light various ethical issues that arise with AI advancements. Toner argues that the OpenAI Saga highlights the importance of not only attempting to do good but also the necessity of external regulation. The discussion sheds light on the challenges and complexities of balancing innovation with ethical considerations in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
