OpenAI reveals how it will try to stop the use of its tools for false election information
John Callaham posted a topic in Front Page News
OpenAI reveals how it will try to stop the use of its tools for false election information by John Callaham Today, the 2024 US Presidential election officially gets underway with caucuses in the state of Iowa. Generative AI company OpenAI has decided to use today to outline how it plans to prevent groups from using its tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E to create and distribute 'deepfakes" and other false information that could be used to disrupt the US presidential election, and indeed elections all over the world this year. In a blog post, OpenAI stated it will make sure its tools are used for "accurate voting information, enforcing measured policies, and improving transparency". It added: We have a cross-functional effort dedicated to election work, bringing together expertise from our safety systems, threat intelligence, legal, engineering, and policy teams to quickly investigate and address potential abuse. OpenAI says it will not allow its tools to be used for any political campaigns or for any lobbying purposes. Also, it states that it will not allow any chatbots to be created with its tools and services that are designed to simulate chatting with real candidates or government groups. The company says it will block the use of its tools to distribute efforts to misrepresent how people should vote in the election, or discourage people from voting. It will also allow people to report possible violations to OpenAI. In addition, OpenAI is working on tools to help spot AI-created deepfake images made via DALL-E. A new tool, called a "provenance classifier" is currently under development that is supposed to help find AI-made images " even where images have been subject to common types of modifications." A group of testers that will include journalists, will be able to try out this tool "soon". A recent report claimed that Microsoft's Copilot chatbot, which uses technology developed by OpenAI, frequently offered false answers to questions about some 2023 elections. In November, Microsoft announced plans to offer a new tool that would help political parties show that images created by them, such as ads and videos, are real and have not been changed by AI tools. -

Omer Dursun posted a topic in Front Page News
OpenAI finally opens GPT Store; introduces ChatGPT Team for collaborative creation by Omer Dursun OpenAI announced the long-awaited launch of the GPT Store, expanding the potential use cases for its chatbot. This move marks a significant milestone for the company, allowing users to share their own custom chatbots and further enrich the ChatGPT experience. The GPT Store is the result of OpenAI's GPT Builder program. According to OpenAI, over 3 million GPTs have been created since its announcement in November. The GPT Store provides a central location for users to discover and try out useful chatbots created by others. It will also introduce a revenue-sharing program starting in Q1, where bot creators will earn money based on user engagement with their GPTs. OpenAI says the GPT Store aims to showcase and highlight the most popular contributions weekly. Here are some examples of the first features GPTs: Personalized trail recommendations from AllTrails Search and synthesize results from 200M academic papers with Consensus Expand your coding skills with Khan Academy's Code Tutor Design presentations or social posts with Canva Find your next read with Books Learn math and science anytime, anywhere with the CK-12 Flexi AI tutor Alongside the store's opening, OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Team, a new paid subscription tier for ChatGPT targeted at teams of up to 150 users. ChatGPT Team provides the same capabilities as the Enterprise plan, such as access to advanced AI models like DALL-E and control over data usage and privacy settings: Access to GPT-4 with 32K context window Tools like DALL-E 3, GPT-4 with Vision, Browsing, Advanced Data Analysis—with higher message caps No training on your business data or conversations Secure workspace for your team Create and share custom GPTs with your workspace Admin console for workspace and team management Early access to new features and improvements Prices for the ChatGPT Team are $25 per month per user for annual billing and $30 per user per user for monthly billing. Initially planned for release in November, the GPT Store faced delays, pushing its launch to December and January. The GPT Store will initially be accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users and subscribers to the ChatGPT Team tier. -
OpenAI dismisses NYT lawsuit, says the publication tricked ChatGPT into copying its articles
Qblade_ posted a topic in Front Page News
OpenAI dismisses NYT lawsuit, says the publication tricked ChatGPT into copying its articles by Mehrotra A OpenAI has published an official response to the lawsuit filed by The New York Times claiming that the company used its articles without permission to train Large Language Model (LLM). In a letter published by OpenAI, the company refuted The New York Times's claims while noting that the publication fabricated the prompts to regurgitate data related to Times articles. Regurgitation is a process where AI models provide training data verbatim when asked in a certain way. Interestingly, the regurgitations The New York Times induced appear to be from years-old articles that have proliferated on multiple third-party websites. It seems they intentionally manipulated prompts, often including lengthy excerpts of articles, in order to get our model to regurgitate. Even when using such prompts, our models don’t typically behave the way The New York Times insinuates, which suggests they either instructed the model to regurgitate or cherry-picked their examples from many attempts. The company mentions that they had no information about the lawsuit and came to know about it when they read it in The New York Times. We had explained to The New York Times that, like any single source, their content didn't meaningfully contribute to the training of our existing models and also wouldn't be sufficiently impactful for future training. Their lawsuit on December 27—which we learned about by reading The New York Times—came as a surprise and disappointment to us. OpenAI also said that the Times had mentioned cases of regurgitation when the two parties were working together but failed to provide examples when asked about it. The company noted that they treat allegations of regurgitation with the utmost priority and provided example of removal of Bing Integration to support their claim. Along the way, they had mentioned seeing some regurgitation of their content but repeatedly refused to share any examples, despite our commitment to investigate and fix any issues. We’ve demonstrated how seriously we treat this as a priority, such as in July when we took down a ChatGPT feature immediately after we learned it could reproduce real-time content in unintended ways. The letter also focused on other points including the licensing deal between news agencies like the Associated Press, Axel Springer, American Journalism Project and NYU. OpenAI also talked about fair use saying that if the content is available on the internet, it comes within the fair use regulation and can be used for training AI models. Training AI models using publicly available internet materials is fair use, as supported by long-standing and widely accepted precedents. We view this principle as fair to creators, necessary for innovators, and critical for US competitiveness. However, OpenAI does provide an opt out option if a someone does not want their data to be used for training AI models. It also noted that The New York Times had exercised that option in August 2023. That being said, legal right is less important to us than being good citizens. We have led the AI industry in providing a simple opt-out process for publishers (which The New York Times adopted in August 2023) to prevent our tools from accessing their sites. The New York Times is not the only one suing OpenAI and Microsoft for unauthorized use of data. Earlier this week, two authors also filed a lawsuit claiming that OpenAI used their published work to train its AI models. -
Authors sue Microsoft and OpenAI alleging copyright infringement over AI training models
Qblade_ posted a topic in Front Page News
Authors sue Microsoft and OpenAI alleging copyright infringement over AI training models by Mehrotra A Two non-fiction authors have filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI for using their work to train Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. This comes just a week after The New York Times announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI for using its articles to train Large Language Models (LLMs) without explicit permission. Authors Nicholas Basbanes and Nicholas Gage (via Reuters) have filed a class action lawsuit with the Manhattan federal court alleging Microsoft infringed their copyright by using information from their books to train OpenAI's LLM for ChatGPT and other services. The lawsuit also references the one filed by The New York Times and also notes that Nicholas Gage had worked for The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Mr. Gage is among America’s greatest and most acclaimed investigative reporters. He has a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and his work for The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times impacted the course of key events in American and world history. The lawsuit asks that authors should be compensated for the use of their work by the tech companies who are leveraging the information to train their AI models. Notably, shortly after The New York Times filed suit against these same defendants in this Court, the Defendants publicly acknowledged that copyright owners like Plaintiffs must be compensated for Defendants’ use of their work Furthermore, Basbanes and Gage's lawyer said that tech companies have "access to billions in capital, simply stole Plaintiffs’ copyrighted works to build another billion+ dollar commercial industry. It is outrageous." Both the authors are seeking damages from Microsoft and OpenAI as well as asking the companies to stop using copyright information to train AI models. Mr. Basbanes and Mr. Gage seek to represent a class of writers whose copyrighted work has been systematically pilfered by Defendants. Mr. Basbanes and Mr. Gage seek damages for copyright infringement, the lost opportunity to license their works, and for the destruction of the market Defendants have caused and continue to cause to writers. They also seek a permanent injunction to prevent these harms from recurring. It is worth noting that this is not the first time Microsoft has been under a microscope for its investment and interests in OpenAI. Earlier this year, Microsoft was sued for the breach of privacy for using personal data to train AI models. This was followed by a lawsuit from authors Paul Tremblay and Mona Awad claiming ChatGPT accessed their work illegally. Not only that, but last month FTC and CMA announced that they are looking into Microsoft and OpenAI's partnership in relation to the anti-trust laws. -
Microsoft's Copilot app for iOS is here only days after Android launch
Martin Hodás posted a topic in Front Page News
Microsoft's Copilot app for iOS is here only days after Android launch by Martin Hodás As reported by The Verge, the official Copilot app for iOS is now available in the App Store for free. The owners of Apple devices didn’t have to wait much longer than their Android counterparts who got the app as a Christmas gift from Microsoft just a couple of days earlier. The AI-powered assistant – or “your everyday AI companion” as Microsoft’s sales department prefers to say – allows you to ask anything (probably apart from election-related questions), quickly draft e-mails, compose stories or scripts, summarize complex texts, and much more. Copilot’s best feature is probably the fact that it runs on OpenAI’s latest GPT-4, essentially giving you free access to its most robust large language model (LLM) normally hidden behind the paywall of ChatGPT. The iOS app also serves as an image generator creating AI artworks right in your mobile device. For these, purposes the Copilot app utilizes OpenAI’s DALL·E 3. “By combining the power of GPT-4 with the imaginative capabilities of DALL·E 3, Copilot not only enhances your design workflow, but can also bring your creativity to inspiring new heights,” claims Microsoft. But if you don’t prefer the mobile experience, you can always run the standalone Copilot web service on a desktop or laptop – even outside the Edge browser. Generally, the Redmond company is pushing for wider availability of Copilot and more use cases across its product portfolio. In just the past two weeks, Microsoft added Copilot to Dev Tools in Edge to help developers with troubleshooting, expanded its possibilities within the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, launched a standalone Android app, and made the Copilot Chat generally available on GitHub. Copilot is undoubtedly a top priority for the company, as their representatives repeatedly compared its importance to the Start button in Windows and dubbed it “the entry point into this world of AI on the PC”. -
Microsoft and OpenAI are being sued by the New York Times for copyright infringement
John Callaham posted a topic in Front Page News
Microsoft and OpenAI are being sued by the New York Times for copyright infringement by John Callaham The legal fight over how copyrighted content may be used to train generative AI models took a big step today. The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against both Microsoft and OpenAI in the Federal District Court in Manhattan. The media company, best known for their newspaper and website, claim that AI models from both companies illegally accessed "millions of articles published by The Times." In its own story about its lawsuit, the NY Times stated: The suit does not include an exact monetary demand. But it says the defendants should be held responsible for “billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages” related to the “unlawful copying and use of The Times’s uniquely valuable works.” It also calls for the companies to destroy any chatbot models and training data that use copyrighted material from The Times. The article cites examples of how this alleged copyright infringement was conducted. The story says that Microsoft's Browse with Bing feature, which uses OpenAI's ChatGPT model, generated "almost verbatim results" from the NY Times's Wirecutter review site, but did not actually link to Wirecutter, and also removed any financial affiliate links which the site users to generate revenue. The story adds that the NY Times entered into talks with Microsoft and OpenAI back in April to come up with "an amicable resolution” on this alleged copyright infringement. However, the article says those talks did not result in a mutual agreement. So far, neither Microsoft nor Open AI have issued a statement about this lawsuit. This is just the latest legal fight over the use of generative AI. In June Microsoft and OpenAI were sued by 16 people, who claim the companies "systematically scraped 300 billion words from the internet, 'books, articles, websites and posts – including personal information obtained without consent." In July, OpenAI was sued by authors Paul Tremblay and Mona Awad, who stated the company's ChatGPT model accessed their copyrighted material from their novels. -
UK regulators are now looking at Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI
John Callaham posted a topic in Front Page News
UK regulators are now looking at Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI by John Callaham Microsoft has been both a major financial and technical partner with OpenAI for years and has used its ChatGPT and DALL-E generative AI models in its own Copilot services, among others. Now that tight relationship is getting some attention from the UK Competition and Markets Authority regulatory body. In a press release, the CMA stated it is "providing an early opportunity for the parties and interested third parties" to send comments to the regulator if the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI "has resulted in a relevant merger situation", The CMA seems to have become interested in looking at this partnership after November's chaotic situation when OpenAI's board of directors fired its CEO Sam Altman. The rest of the company staged an open revolt against the board's decision, and after a few rough days, that board was removed and Altman returned as CEO. Microsoft is now also a non-voting member of OpenAI's new board of directors. In today's announcement, the CMA stated: In light of these developments, the CMA is now issuing an ITC to determine whether the Microsoft / OpenAI partnership, including recent developments, has resulted in a relevant merger situation and, if so, the potential impact on competition. The regulator says it will investigate if it is possible Microsoft now has "material influence, de facto control or more than 50% of the voting rights" at OpenAI. If it feels that has happened, it may also see if such a move could have a competitive impact in the UK. Microsoft President Brad Smith has commented on this move by the CMA in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He also took a bit of a shot against Microsoft's big AI rival Google: Since 2019, we’ve forged a partnership with OpenAI that has fostered more AI innovation and competition, while preserving independence for both companies. The only thing that has changed is that Microsoft will now have a non-voting observer on OpenAI’s Board, which is very different from an acquisition such as Google’s purchase of DeepMind in the UK. We will work closely with the CMA to provide all the information it needs. The CMA stated this is just the first phase of this look into Microsoft and OpenAI and that it "comes in advance of any launch of a formal phase 1 investigation." There's no word on when or if that might happen. -

Aditya Tiwari posted a topic in Front Page News
ChatGPT scores 49 million pageviews, becomes Wikipedia's most viewed article in 2023 by Aditya Tiwari OpenAI's generative AI bot, which shook things under Google's roof after its launch, is also making rounds on Wikipedia. ChatGPT generated over 49 million pageviews on the English version of the online encyclopedia, topping Wikipedia's most-viewed pages this year. Wikimedia Foundation released its version of Spotify Wrapped, where it announced the top 25 most viewed Wikipedia pages in 2023. The list currently includes data until November 28, but the nonprofit said it will release an updated version with the full year's data in January 2024. The English version of Wikipedia received a visual overhaul earlier this year and generated over 84 billion pageviews in total. Here are Wikipedia's top 25 most-viewed pages in 2023: ChatGPT: 49,490,406 Deaths in 2023: 42,666,860 2023 Cricket World Cup: 38,171,653 Indian Premier League: 32,012,810 Oppenheimer (film): 28,348,248 Cricket World Cup: 25,961,417 J.

Wikimedia said its pageviews for the English version averaged between 100,000 to 400,000 almost daily during the year's first half. The AI chatbot sits on top of a rather sad topic "Deaths in 2023" that generated over 42 million pageviews. The list includes the Friends-fame American-Canadian actor Mathew Perry (as Chandler Bing) who passed away in October this year. ChatGPT has also outperformed popular figures such as Elon Musk, Lionel Messi, and American singer Taylor Swift whose "Eras" tour concert at Lumen Field generated seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. Apart from that, millions of users flocked over to the online encyclopedia to read about cricket. Wikipedia pages like "2023 Cricket World Cup," "Indian Premier League," and "Cricket World Cup" have made it to the top 25 most-viewed list. -
Asking ChatGPT to repeat a word may now be a violation of its terms
Omer Dursun posted a topic in Front Page News
Asking ChatGPT to repeat a word may now be a violation of its terms by Omer Dursun A new technique discovered by Google DeepMind researchers last week revealed that repeatedly asking OpenAI's ChatGPT to repeat words can inadvertently reveal private, personal information from its training data. Now, it appears that the chatbot has started refusing certain prompts previously allowed under its terms of service. By asking ChatGPT to repeat "hello" indefinitely, the researchers found that the model would eventually reveal users' email addresses, birth dates, and phone numbers. In response to similar prompts in our test, the chatbot warned that such behavior "may violate our content policy or terms of service." Upon closer inspection, however, OpenAI's terms of service do not explicitly prohibit users from having the chatbot repeat words repeatedly. The terms only prohibit "automated or programmatic" data extraction from their services. In the terms of use page, OpenAI writes; You may not, except as permitted through the API, use any automated or programmatic method to extract data or output from the Services, including scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction. Despite this, repeating the prompt did not appear to trigger any data disclosure from ChatGPT during testing. OpenAI declined to comment on whether such behavior is now against its policies. In other news, just last two weeks, Sam Altman was unexpectedly dismissed from his CEO role before being reinstated only a few days later amid threats of employee resignations. Then, the company announced it had reached an "agreement in principle" for Altman to resume his role as CEO alongside a new interim board. OpenAI has also delayed the launch of its marketplace for custom AI models. Sam Altman announced the online platform, dubbed the "GPT Store," at the DevDay event early last month. In the memo, the AI lab wrote that "a few unexpected things have been keeping us busy," preventing a launch this month as originally anticipated. Source: 404 Media -
OpenAI delays GPT Store launch due to "a few unexpected things keeping them busy"
Omer Dursun posted a topic in Front Page News
OpenAI delays GPT Store launch due to "a few unexpected things keeping them busy" by Omer Dursun OpenAI is reportedly pushing back the launch of its planned marketplace for custom AI models. Dubbed the "GPT Store", OpenAI CEO Sam Altman first announced the online platform at the DevDay event earlier last month. It was intended to let customers design and deploy their own versions of GPT trained on custom datasets for specialized tasks. OpenAI will spotlight specific creations that are the most "useful and delightful" in different categories, such as productivity, education, and "just for fun." The company emphasizes the privacy and safety controls within GPTs, and chats within them are not shared with the builders. If a GPT uses third-party APIs, a user can choose whether or not to share their data with that API. However, according to an internal memo obtained by Reuters, OpenAI will now delay the launch of the GPT Store until early 2024. In the memo, the AI lab wrote that "a few unexpected things have been keeping us busy," preventing a launch this month as originally anticipated. The delay comes at a tumultuous time for OpenAI. Just last two week, Sam Altman was unexpectedly dismissed from his CEO role before being reinstated only a few days later amid threats of employee resignations. Then, the company announced it had reached an "agreement in principle" for Altman to resume his role as CEO alongside a new interim board. While the reasons for the GPT Store delay were not explicitly stated, the memo suggests that the recent leadership turmoil may have played a role. OpenAI also said it will continue improving its GPT models based on customer feedback in the interim. When it launches, the GPT Store is expected to allow users to create custom versions of GPT tailored to specific verticals or domains. Customers will also be able to monetize and share their AI models through the platform. Source: Reuters -
OpenAI allows Microsoft to become a non-voting member of its board of directors
John Callaham posted a topic in Front Page News
OpenAI allows Microsoft to become a non-voting member of its board of directors by John Callaham Things have quieted down at OpenAI, the makers of ChatGPT. That's a sharp contrast to earlier in November when the company's board of directors fired its CEO Sam Altman. After a revolt by most of the company's employees, the board resigned, and a new board was put in place, which rehired Altman as CEO just a few days after his firing. Today, OpenAI updated its blog with a new post with messages from Altman along with the company's new board chairperson Bret Taylor. The big news from the post is that Microsoft, the company's biggest investor and arguably its biggest partner, now has a non-voting spot on OpenAI's board. In the post, Altman thanks Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and the members of the company's leadership. He added: They’ve had our backs and were ready to welcome all of us if we couldn’t achieve our primary goal. We clearly made the right choice to partner with Microsoft and I’m excited that our new board will include them as a non-voting observer. Thank you. While Microsoft won't have any voting rights on the board, it will be able to get more inside info on OpenAI. Microsoft will likely be a big influence in OpenAI's overall direction in the future. Now that the power struggle at OpenAI is over, Altman says the company has three current priorities. One is to advance "our research plan and further investing in our full-stack safety efforts" and the second is to continue "to improve and deploy our products and serve our customers." Finally, Altman stated he will work with the new board members "on the extremely important task of building out a board of diverse perspectives, improving our governance structure and overseeing an independent review of recent events." There's no word on who will be conducting this review, or if its results will be made public. -
Microsoft is working to add GPT-4 Turbo to Bing/Copilot; will try to boost character limits
John Callaham posted a topic in Front Page News
Microsoft is working to add GPT-4 Turbo to Bing/Copilot; will try to boost character limits by John Callaham Earlier in November, Microsoft announced it was retiring its Bing Chat name for its online generative AI chatbot and will now use Copilot when it refers to the service. Whatever name Microsoft uses for the chatbot, the company is still working on improvements for its users. One of the announced plans is for Microsoft to upgrade the chatbot to the recently announced GPT-4 Turbo model from its partners at OpenAI. One of its big upgrades is that it supports a 128k context window. That means users can type in a text prompt that's equal to 300 pages in that window. In responding to posts from users on X (formerly Twitter) in the past few days, Mikhail Parakhin, the head of Microsoft’s Advertising and Web Services and the recently announced leader of the company's all-new Windows and Web Experiences Team, stated, "Not GPT-4-turbo yet, still need to iron out a few kinks." Bing Chat/Copilot currently has a strict 5,000 character limit for each chat. When asked if that character limit could be increased when GPT-4 Turbo is added, Parakhin wrote, "Yes, Turbo has a larger context window, so will try to increase the limit." That will definitely be a big help for many users who have been asking about going over the current limit. Parakhin was also asked by an X user how GPT-4 Turbo is better than the normal GPT-4 model. He replied: It beats vanilla GPT-4 on "perceived intelligence" - our internal metric of how smart the system feels when you talk to it, but we still need to iron out a few kinks in Math and Coding. It has higher throughput, so you can have more users or run DCs less "hot", improving latency. We are also still waiting on the support for third-party plugins to be fully rolled out. It has been in testing for a few users for a while, and this weekend, Parakhin stated on X, "We are gradually rolling out plug-ins for everyone. It's not location-specific, just a random percentage of the world." -
New report claims OpenAI workers think they made a major AI jump but with safety concerns

New report claims OpenAI workers think they made a major AI jump but with safety concerns by John Callaham Just a few days ago, people were worried about the future of OpenAI, with that company's board of directors deciding to fire its CEO Sam Altman out of the blue. Now a new, but unconfirmed report, claims that before the board fired Altman, its members were sent a letter from a number of OpenAI team members, claiming that a recent AI breakthrough from that company may have some big safety concerns. Reuters reports, via unnamed sources, that this AI discovery was mentioned in the letter by a group of OpenAI employees as part of a number of issues they brought to the board. After a contentious few days after Altman was fired by the board, he was brought back earlier this week, and the company's board members mostly departed in favor of a new and larger board. Reuters admits that it has not actually read the reported letter and that it was not able to get a response from the staff members who actually wrote it. OpenAI also did not comment. However, Reuters does claim, again via unnamed sources, that a memo written by the company's chief technology officer Mira Murati mentions a project called Q* (pronounced Q-Star) which could be the AI breakthrough mentioned in that letter. Reuters offers more unconfirmed info on this Q* project. claiming that it was able to figure out mathematical problems on its own. It added: In their letter to the board, researchers flagged AI’s prowess and potential danger, the sources said without specifying the exact safety concerns noted in the letter. There has long been discussion among computer scientists about the danger posed by highly intelligent machines, for instance if they might decide that the destruction of humanity was in their interest. As usual with these kinds of reports that use unnamed sources, take this one with a grain of salt. -

Microsoft says it "will continue to support our colleagues at OpenAl" in new internal memo by John Callaham The last few days have, without a doubt, been one of the most chaotic in Microsoft's entire history, and indeed of the entire technology industry as a whole. We went from ChatGPT creator OpenAI's board firing its co-founder and CEO Sam Altman on Friday, to Altman trying to get back in OpenAI on Saturday and Sunday. When that plan failed, OpenAI's biggest partner, Microsoft, announced it would bring in Altman to launch a new advanced AI team. Then the majority of OpenAI's employees signed a letter threatening to resign en masse unless Altman was brought back to the company. In the end, Altman was announced as back in charge of OpenAI early this morning, along with a new and bigger board. The amount of twists and turns in this saga rivaled those in TV soap operas. Today, The Verge posted a new internal memo, written by Microsoft's chief technology officer and EVP of its AI division Kevin Scott, where he thanked all of the company's employees, especially the "huge number of people who went above and beyond over the past few days to help in so many ways." The memo from Scott stated in part: We will continue to support our colleagues at OpenAl and the phenomenal work they’ve been doing alongside us in service of that mission. As we have for these past 4+ years, we look forward to continuing our work with Sam and his team. Scott also mentioned that both Microsoft and OpenAI launched new products during this rather chaotic time, including Microsoft with its Orca 2 language model, and OpenAI with offering voice ChatCPT support for all of its free users. Scott wrote: It is both humbling and inspiring to be part of such an amazing team at Microsoft, and to have the privilege of working with the team at OpenAl. At the end of the day, the greatest privilege of my job is working with people who are driven by mission. These last 5 days, I saw people across OpenAI remaining calm and resolute in driving their mission despite all that was happening around them. And I saw people across… — Satya Nadella (@satyanadella) November 22, 2023 Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account today, which also thanked the company's employees "for your resolve and for the work you do each day" -

Sam Altman officially returns to OpenAI as CEO with a new board by Omer Dursun Sam Altman will return as CEO of OpenAI following a disagreement with the company's board that lasted several days. OpenAI announced today that it had reached an "agreement in principle" for Altman to resume his role as CEO alongside a new interim board. It appears that the purpose of this interim board, which includes Bret Taylor (chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo, is to appoint a new, expanded board of up to 9 members to help rebuild the governance at OpenAI. We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo. We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this. — OpenAI (@OpenAI) November 22, 2023 If you are wondering about the current state of OpenAI, a lot of it is still up in the air. Sam Altman was fired as its CEO on Friday by its board members, and then he tried over the weekend to get brought back but failed. Microsoft hired him and several other OpenAI employees to join that company to form a new AI team, but then most of OpenAI's employees signed a letter demanding the board bring Altman back, or they might resign. In the letter, the employees stated that in their opinion, the current board's conduct "has made it clear you did not have the competence to oversee OpenAI." During the turmoil, interim CEOs Mira Murati and Emmett Shear stepped in but could not quell the unrest over Altman's ouster. Sources say Shear threatened to resign if the board could not justify its decision, adding pressure for a resolution. Key board member Ilya Sutskever also switched sides and backed Altman's reinstatement. With dwindling support, the remaining three board members agreed to negotiate Altman's return along with co-founder Greg Brockman, who resigned in protest last week. -

ChatGPT's text-to-speech voice feature, announced in September, uses a neural network model to generate human-like speech from text. By sampling a few seconds of recorded audio from professional voice actors, the system is able to create custom voices with varied accents and styles. The feature was previously only accessible to paying ChatGPT's Plus subscribers but is now being rolled out more broadly. ChatGPT Voice rolled out for all free users. Give it a try — totally changes the ChatGPT experience: https://t.co/DgzqLlDNYF — Greg Brockman (@gdb) November 21, 2023 To use the new voice option, ChatGPT users simply need to open the app settings on Android or iOS and toggle the "headphones" icon to activate text-to-speech playback. Listening to ChatGPT's responses enhances the user experience of the conversational AI and makes it more accessible. However, Brockman's commentary on the new feature, without involvement from the company, adds another odd twist to the leadership confusion. Brockman's status at OpenAI is unclear following his resignation on Friday in response to the board of directors' abrupt firing of CEO Sam Altman. In other news, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella decided to open himself to questions from business media outlets about OpenAI. In a video interview with Bloomberg, reporter Emily Chang asked Nadella if Altman told him he wanted to return to OpenAI, but he did not answer. "We really want to partner with OpenAI and we want to partner with Sam," Nadella said. "And so In respect of where Sam is, he is working with Microsoft, and that is the case on Friday and that is the case today, and I absolutely believe that will be the case tomorrow." While OpenAI has found a new CEO, the future strategic priorities of the AI labs remain unclear. -
Microsoft reportedly is preparing Linkedin's offices to (maybe) take in OpenAI employees

Microsoft reportedly is preparing Linkedin's offices to (maybe) take in OpenAI employees by John Callaham While talks to bring Sam Altman back as OpenAI's CEO are still ongoing as of this writing, it's possible those talks could fail, and Altman could be joining Microsoft to head up a new advanced AI team. He could also be bringing hundreds of OpenAI employees with him. A new report from Axios states that Microsoft is not waiting around for those talks to complete. It is working on the assumption that it could be adding former OpenAI team members to its workforce. The report says Microsoft is already getting office space ready and setting up computers to welcome (maybe) those OpenAI workers. The report says the office space will be located in LinkedIn's office in San Francisco, which is located just 10 minutes away from the headquarters of OpenAI. The story states: The company is readying work spaces, training clusters and Macs to ensure OpenAI's workers can hit the ground running, the source said. It also has legal and HR personnel at the ready to handle hiring and onboarding. The vast majority of OpenAI's employees have signed a letter to the company's board members, who fired Altman with no prior warning on Friday. The letter asked the board to resign and reinstate Altman as CEO of OpenAI, or else they could join Altman at Microsoft. Speaking of which, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella didn't want to directly answer questions from the business press on Monday on how he would feel if Altman decided to go back to OpenAI, after offering him a job at Microsoft. On the prospect of adding new employees, Nadella stated "that depends on the people of OpenAI and staying there or coming to Microsoft so I'm open to both options." In any case, it's going to be a very interesting next few hours, and we will cover what finally happens in this crazy story as it happens. -
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is dodging questions on if Sam Altman might return to OpenAI

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is dodging questions on if Sam Altman might return to OpenAI by John Callaham In case you are wondering about the current status of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, everything is still up in the air. Sam Altman was fired as its CEO on Friday by its board members, then he tried over the weekend to get brought back to no avail. Microsoft hired him and several other OpenAI employees to join that company to form a new AI team, but then most of OpenAI's employees signed a letter, demanding the board bring Altman back, or they might resign. Monday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella decided to make himself open to questions from business media outlets. In a video interview with Bloomberg, reporter Emily Chang asked Nadella directly if Altman told him he wanted to return to OpenAI, but he did not give a direct answer: We really want to partner with OpenAI and we want to partner with Sam. And so In respect of where Sam is, he is working with Microsoft, and that is the case on Friday and that is the case today, and I absolutely believe that will be the case tomorrow. When asked in an interview with CNBC whether it was clear or not if Altman was going back to OpenAI and if all those employees might join him or join Microsoft, Nadella also punted on that subject: That is for, you know, OpenAI board and management and the employees to choose. I think at this point for me, I just want in this moment, what is it that I care about? I care about just making sure that we can continue to innovate and, as I said, I feel very, very confident, quite frankly, Microsoft has all the capability to just do that on our own. But we chose to explicitly partner with OpenAI and we want to continue to do so and obviously that depends on the people of OpenAI and staying there or coming to Microsoft so I'm open to both options. Nadella also stated in the Bloomberg interview he was not aware of any wrongdoing by Altman that would have caused the OpenAI board to fire him on Friday. The latest on this situation comes from Bloomberg, which reports that in a memo sent to OpenAI employees, the company's global affairs VP Anna Makanju stated that the remaining board members, and its current interim CEO Emmett Shear are still in some kind of talks with Altman. Those talks are supposed to continue later today. -
Believe it or not, Sam Altman might actually return to OpenAI as its CEO
John Callaham posted a topic in Front Page News
Believe it or not, Sam Altman might actually return to OpenAI as its CEO by John Callaham Just a few hours ago, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella posted word that former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, along with a number of other former team members of the company that developed ChatGPT, would join Microsoft to form a new advanced AI team. Now, in just the latest twist in an already twisty turn of events, a new report claims that Altman still wants to return to the company that fired him Friday as its CEO. According to The Verge, citing unnamed sources, Altman is willing to consider returning to OpenAI as its leader, if the remaining board members that unceremoniously ejected him from the company a few days ago would depart their positions. Altman just posted a somewhat cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter) which stated, in part, "we are all going to work together some way or other," The Verge reports that might be a hint that efforts to return him to OpenAI are still, well, open. we have more unity and commitment and focus than ever before. we are all going to work together some way or other, and i’m so excited. one team, one mission. — Sam Altman (@sama) November 20, 2023 The same report claims that Altman, OpenAI's former President Greg Brockman, and the company's many investors are "all trying to find a graceful exit for the board". It also claims that Nadella's announcement of Altman joining Microsoft is in a "holding pattern.” A more recent X post from Altman stated that the top priority for Nadella and himself "remains to ensure openai continues to thrive" and added, "we are committed to fully providing continuity of operations to our partners and customers. the openai/microsoft partnership makes this very doable." Earlier today, a letter to OpenAI's board of directors, signed by the majority of the company's employees, asked for the board to depart, and put Altman back in as CEO, or risk having all of those team members leave to go to Microsoft. Those employees claimed that the conduct of the board members "has made it clear you did not have the competence to oversee OpenAI." -
Over half of OpenAI's employees may quit unless the board leaves and brings Sam Altman back

Over half of OpenAI's employees may quit unless the board leaves and brings Sam Altman back by John Callaham In yet another turn in this strange leadership struggle at OpenAI, a letter signed by nearly 500 of the company's over 700 employees is demanding that the current board of directors resign and bring back Sam Altman as its CEO. Altman was fired by that board on Friday, and has now been hired by Microsoft to help lead a new advanced AI team. In the letter, posted on Wired, the employees stated that in their opinion, the current board's conduct "has made it clear you did not have the competence to oversee OpenAI." The letter stated that the team members who signed the letter may resign and join Altman and other OpenAI team members at Microsoft unless the board resigns and Altman, along with former ChatGPT President Greg Brockman, are brought back into the company. Here is the letter in full: To the Board of Directors at OpenAI: OpenAI is the world’s leading AI company. We, the employees of OpenAI, have developed the best models and pushed the field to new frontiers. Our work on AI safety and governance shapes global norms. The products we built are used by millions of people around the world. Until now, the company we work for and cherish has never been in a stronger position. The process through which you terminated Sam Altman and removed Greg Brockman from the board has jeopardized all of this work and undermined our mission and company. Your conduct has made it clear you did not have the competence to oversee OpenAI. When we all unexpectedly learned of your decision, the leadership team of OpenAI acted swiftly to stabilize the company. They carefully listened to your concerns and tried to cooperate with you on all grounds. Despite many requests for specific facts for your allegations, you have never provided any written evidence. They also increasingly realized you were not capable of carrying out your duties, and were negotiating in bad faith. The leadership team suggested that the most stabilizing path forward - the one that would best serve our mission, company, stakeholders, employees and the public - would be for you to resign and put in place a qualified board that could lead the company forward in stability. Leadership worked with you around the clock to find a mutually agreeable outcome. Yet within two days of your initial decision, you again replaced interim CEO Mira Murati against the best interests of the company. You also informed the leadership team that allowing the company to be destroyed “would be consistent with the mission.” Your actions have made it obvious that you are incapable of overseeing OpenAI. We are unable to work for or with people that lack competence, judgement and care for our mission and employees. We, the undersigned, may choose to resign from OpenAI and join the newly announced Microsoft subsidiary run by Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAI employees at this new subsidiary should we choose to join. We will take this step imminently, unless all current board members resign, and the board appoints two new lead independent directors, such as Bret Taylor and Will Hurd, and reinstates Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. One of the people who signed the letter is OpenAI's chief scientist and board member Ilya Sutskever. He was one of the board members who voted to fire Altman on Friday. In a post this morning on X (formerly Twitter), he now admits, "I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company." -
OpenAI's new CEO admits the removal of Sam Altman was "handled very badly"

OpenAI's new CEO admits the removal of Sam Altman was "handled very badly" by John Callaham It's been one of the most chaotic weekends ever in the tech industry. Late on Friday, ChatGPT creator OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman was fired from his position by its board of directors. However, later in the weekend, there was an effort to bring back Altman, but those talks eventually failed. Microsoft announced earlier this morning it would hire Altman and other former members of OpenAI to help form a new advanced AI team at the company. In the middle of all this, OpenAI ditched its first interim CEO, Mira Murati, and put in former Twitch CEO Emmett Sheer late on Sunday night in the new leadership role. This morning, Sheer posted a lengthy message on his X (formerly Twitter) account to offer up some more info on what OpenAI will do next. Today I got a call inviting me to consider a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to become the interim CEO of @OpenAI. After consulting with my family and reflecting on it for just a few hours, I accepted. I had recently resigned from my role as CEO of Twitch due to the birth of my… — Emmett Shear (@eshear) November 20, 2023 Sheer stated that even with Altman and other OpenAI team members jumping ship to join Microsoft, he wrote, "Our partnership with Microsoft remains strong." However, Sheer admitted that there were problems with how the company chose to cut ties with Altman on Friday: . . . it’s clear that the process and communications around Sam’s removal has been handled very badly, which has seriously damaged our trust. He also wrote that the board did not remove Altman "over any specific disagreement on safety, their reasoning was completely different from that." Sheer wrote that as OpenAI's new CEO he has a three-point plan for the next 30 days. One of them is to "hire an independent investigator to dig into the entire process leading up to this point and generate a full report." He also plans to "speak to as many of our employees, partners, investors, and customers as possible" and finally he says he will "reform the management and leadership team." Sheer says that, based on what he learns in the next 30 days, there could be big changes at OpenAI including "significant governance changes if necessary" -
Sam Altman reportedly won't return as OpenAI's CEO as the board brings in another leader

Sam Altman reportedly won't return as OpenAI's CEO as the board brings in another leader by John Callaham A weekend full of secret talks that would have resulted in fired OpenAI CEO Sam Altman being brought back to lead the company have reportedly failed. The Verge is reporting, via unnamed sources, that not only will Altman not return as the leader of the company behind generative AI-based ChatGPT, but OpenAI's board has now installed yet another person as interim CEO. The new interim leader, according to the story, is former Twitch CEO Emmett Shear. He will replace Mira Murati, who served as its interim CEO for all of two days after OpenAI's board fired Altman on Friday. It's not yet clear if Murati, who previously served as OpenAI's chief technology officer, will remain with the company. This is just the latest chapter in the confusing saga of OpenAI's leadership in the past few days. OpenAI's board stated on Friday that Altman was fired because "he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities." OpenAI President Greg Brockman announced his resignation from the company a few hours later in support of Altman, after being told he would no longer be serving as the board's chairman. Online reports claim that Altman's push to make the company money was at odds with some of the people on the board, who felt that he was trying to launch generative AI services too quickly However, the board fired Altman with little to no warning, and only informed key investors, including Microsoft, moments before it was announced. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was reportedly "furious" with the board's actions, although publicly he posted a brief blog note stating that Microsoft was "committed to our partnership" with OpenAI. first and last time i ever wear one of these pic.twitter.com/u3iKwyWj0a — Sam Altman (@sama) November 19, 2023 On Sunday, Altman posted a selfie on X (formerly Twitter) at OpenAI's headquarters showing off a guest badge with the caption "first and last time i ever wear one of these". It now looks like he won't be wearing an employee badge for OpenAI, either. -
New report claims OpenAI's board is in talks to bring Sam Altman back as CEO
John Callaham posted a topic in Front Page News
New report claims OpenAI's board is in talks to bring Sam Altman back as CEO by John Callaham Friday's announcement that OpenAI's board of directors fired its co-founder and CEO Sam Altman out of the blue shook the entire tech industry. Now there's a new report claiming that the company's board is actually in talks to bring Altman back to his former role. The report comes from The Verge, citing unnamed sources. There's no word on exactly why OpenAI's board might be willing to do a 180 on Friday's decision. It does claim Altman himself is "ambivalent” about returning to the CEO role. It also claims that if he did return, there would have to be "significant governance changes" at the company. OpenAI's board stated on Friday that Altman was shown the door because "he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities." After his firing, another OpenAI co-founder and its President Greg Brockman announced his resignation from the company, after being told he would no longer be the board's chairman. In the 24 hours and change since Altman's firing, there have been numerous reports about why Altman was fired. One report from Bloomberg (via Yahoo) claimed that Altman had disagreements with the board on the safety of its AI products like ChatGPT, along with both the speed and the commercialization of those AI products. Another Bloomberg report (via Yahoo) stated Altman specifically clashed with OpenAI's chief scientist and board member Ilya Sutskever, and it's possible he convinced the other board members to fire Altman. Currently, the company's chief technology officer Mira Murati is serving as its interim CEO. The same report claimed that OpenAI's major technology and investment partner Microsoft was "blindsided" by the decision to fire Altman. Officially, Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella issued a statement claiming the company was "committed to our partnership" with OpenAI. However, Bloomberg's report claims that privately, Nadella was "furious" at the board's decision to get rid of Altman. -

OpenAI President Greg Brockman resigns; Microsoft remains committed to OpenAI partnership by John Callaham The fallout from Friday's abrupt departure (and now confirmed as a firing) of OpenAI's CEO and co-founder Sam Altman continues. Greg Brockman, who OpenAI stated was "stepping down as chairman of the board" has announced his resignation as President of the company. In an X (formerly Twitter) post, Brockman reposted a message he sent to OpenAI employees. He stated that he was "super proud of what we've all built together since starting in my apartment 8 years ago". However, he added, "based on today's news, i quit." After learning today’s news, this is the message I sent to the OpenAI team: https://t.co/NMnG16yFmm pic.twitter.com/8x39P0ejOM — Greg Brockman (@gdb) November 18, 2023 Brockman posted a follow-up message on X late on Friday, stating that both Altman and himself "are shocked and saddened by what the board did today", adding, "We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened." Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today. Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.

On Friday, Brockman claimed that Altman joined a Google Meet session with most of the board members, except for himself, and was told he was being fired. Brockman said he got his own message from Sutskever on Friday and was later told of Altman's firing and that he was being removed from the board. if i start going off, the openai board should go after me for the full value of my shares — Sam Altman (@sama) November 18, 2023 Meanwhile, Altman has posted a couple of follow-up posts on X. One of them hinted he can say very little about his firing from the company, stating, "if i start going off, the openai board should go after me for the full value of my shares." In OpenAI's message announcing Altman's departure, the company claimed that "he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities." Bloomberg (via Yahoo) reported, via an unnamed source, that Altman previously had disagreements with OpenAI's board in general, and with Sutskever in particular, over several issues related to the company's generative AI products like ChatGPT. It stated: The debates included differences of opinion on AI safety, the speed of development of the technology and the commercialization of the company, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The report also claims Altman was trying to raise money from other investors to create new startup businesses. Those startups would reportedly concentrate on developing AI-based hardware products. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that OpenAI's new interim CEO Mira Murati sent a memo to the company's employees, claiming she was “honored and humbled” to take over the role of leading the company after previously serving as its chief technology officer. Murati wrote she had also spoken to Microsoft's leadership, including its CEO Satya Nadella, on Friday, and said they "expressed their unwavering support" to OpenAI. Microsoft has invested billions in the company and has used ChatGPT and other products to help create its own AI services. Microsoft was reportedly told of Altman's firing just before the news went public. In a blog entry posted late on Friday, Nadella wrote: We have a long-term agreement with OpenAI with full access to everything we need to deliver on our innovation agenda and an exciting product roadmap; and remain committed to our partnership, and to Mira and the team. Together, we will continue to deliver the meaningful benefits of this technology to the world. It will be interesting to see what Altman and Brockman do next in the AI space and how OpenAI might react to it. -

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman departs; board claims he was "not consistently candid" with them by John Callaham In a highly surprising movie, OpenAI, the creators of the ChatGPT and Dall-E generative AI services, have parted ways with its CEO and co-founder Sam Altman. He is also no longer a member of the company's board of directors. It's not clear if Altman was fired or if he was given a chance to resign on his own. In a press release, OpenAI stated: Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI. The press release did not offer any more details on what Altman reportedly did that caused the board to lose confidence in him. It did add: We are grateful for Sam’s many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward. The board has named OpenAI's chief technology officer Mira Murati as its interim CEO. The board will conduct a formal search to find a new permanent CEO. Altman has posted a statement on X (formerly Twitter). He stated he "loved my time at openai" and that "most of all i loved working with such talented people." He did not address the statement made by the company's board, saying only, "will have more to say about what’s next later." i loved my time at openai. it was transformative for me personally, and hopefully the world a little bit. most of all i loved working with such talented people. will have more to say about what’s next later. 🫡 — Sam Altman (@sama) November 17, 2023 Altman's departure comes less than two weeks after he hosted the company's first developers conference, where he revealed, among other things, its plans to offer others a way to make custom chatbots called GPTs. OpenAI has received billions in investment money from Microsoft over the past few years, and the company has used its generative AI products to help develop its own AI services. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella even joined Altman on stage at OpenAI's developer conference. At the time, Altman said of Microsoft, "I think we have the best partnership in tech." GeekWire received a statement from Microsoft after Atlman's departure: We have a long-term partnership with OpenAI and Microsoft remains committed to Mira and their team as we bring this next era of AI to our customers. Altman has been the public face of OpenAI, so it will be interesting to see how the company will look after today.
