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.

Microsoft will soon let people make their own Copilot chatbots similar to OpenAI's GPTs by John Callaham In November 2023, OpenAI announced plans to release GPTs, custom chatbots based on the company's ChatGPT. Today, Microsoft announced its own plans to offer custom AI chatbots tailored to specific needs and topics. As part of today's many Copilot announcements, including Copilot Pro and the expansion of Copilot for Microsoft 365, the company also announced Copilot GPTs. Like OpenAI's GPTs, Copilot GPTs will allow users to "customize the behavior of Microsoft Copilot on a topic that is of particular interest to you." Microsoft added that it will offer up a number of previously created custom Copilot GPTs starting today. They will be able to answer questions from users on topics like fitness, travel, and cooking. As part of the features that will be enabled for people who pay $20 a month to access the Copilot Pro service, those subscribers will be able to make their own custom Copilot GPTs. Microsoft plans to launch a new app called Copilot GPT Builder, which is made specifically for these kinds of tasks. So far, Microsoft has not revealed anything more about how Pro users will be able to make their own chatbots with Copilot GPT Builder, saying only, "Stay tuned for more on this experience as we get closer to availability." There's no word on what the app itself will be like, how easy or hard it will be to use, and what platform or platforms it will support. When OpenAI announced GPTs, it also revealed that users would be able to share their custom chatbots with the rest of the world via the GPT store. That store finally launched last week, and OpenAI indicated that later in the first quarter of 2024, creators of those custom chatbots would be able to get some revenue if people actually used their custom GPTs. Microsoft has yet to announce plans to offer a similar revenue path for custom Copilot GPTs.

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 announces GPTs, user created versions of ChatGPT by Steve Bennett Today, OpenAI has announced the launch of GPTs on its blog, which are custom versions of its ChatGPT generative AI that allows anyone to create versions of the AI that are more suited to specific tasks to fit the ways that users want to use it. Custom Instructions have been available from OpenAI in ChatGPT since July, which allows users to set some preferences, but users have been asking for more control and the ability to further adjust the AI ever since, which this launch aims to satisfy. OpenAI has also announced that users can also share GPTs publicly, with the launch of the GPT Store later this month allowing verified builders to publish and share creations with the rest of the world. Additionally, OpenAI will spotlight specific creations that it thinks are the most "useful and delightful" in different categories such as productivity, education, and "just for fun." OpenAI goes on to emphasize 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. Additionally, it has set up new systems internally to help review GPTs against its usage policies to prevent users from sharing harmful GPTs. As mentioned above, developers have the ability to link GPTs to external APIs and other plugins, such as databases, emails, or e-commerce platforms. The possibilities for this are wide and far-reaching, further expanding ChatGPT's influence on the world. Finally, OpenAI has announced that customers of OpenAI Enterprise have the ability to deploy GPTs exclusively on an internal basis, being securely published within workplaces. ChatGPT Enterprise users have the ability to start creating GPTs from 8th November, controlling how GPTs are shared and whether external GPTs can be used inside the business, and chats aren't used to develop OpenAI models.
