One week a year, the Swiss town of Davos It brings together the political and economic elite to debate the great challenges of the planet. He World Economic Forum is reserved for a few, but in this edition the fever for artificial intelligence (IA) has elevated a debutant: Sam Altman.
The executive director of OpenAI, the young startup responsible for ChatGPT, has been walking through the halls of the Alpine town these days like a celebrity. The IA has become a strategic priority for great powers such as USA, China o Francea movement that has put the American businessman and investor at the center of the debate.
ChatGPT creator acknowledges that it is “impossible” to train his AI without violating copyright
This Thursday, Altman participated in a round table in which he responded to the demand that The New York Times filed against OpenAI and Microsoft for “illegally copying” their articles and using them on ChatGPT. “We are willing to pay for the information (…) for using the texts that train our algorithmic models,” he assured. Although he added that the company is in “constructive negotiations” with the newspaper, on Monday it said that it did not need its content to be successful.
The popular chatbot can generate text and respond to user requests. That is only possible because that AI model has swallowed millions of data that extracts from internetmany of them protected by Copyright. That has irritated media from all over the world, also in Spain, who demand that they be paid for the commercial exploitation of their works. OpenAI assured behind closed doors that it is “impossible” to train ChatGPT “without copyrighted material.”
The future of AI
In his Davos days, Altman has also acknowledged that his technology “he still has many limitations and makes many mistakes.” That’s why he has promised that the next model, probably dubbed GPT-5“will be able to do much more.”
Altman explained to Axios that the future of Generative AI It goes through personalization, adapting responses to the “different values” of each country and its users. “If they said gays should be killed then that’s out of line. But there are probably other things that I personally don’t agree with, but that a different culture might agree with,” she said.
The future of AI also involves “consuming much more energy“, a reality that worries many experts. Altman assured on Tuesday that the technology sector will need a “breakthrough” in clean energies for the climate such as solar or nuclear fusionin which the businessman has invested around 375 million dollars.
Asked about his dismissal and his rapid reinstatement at the head of OpenAI, Altman called the soap opera “ridiculous.” “As one approaches the world of a IA very powerful, stress and tension increase enormously,” he explained this Thursday.
