OpenAI: OpenAI Security Committee to oversee security practices as an independent body

Backed by Microsoft Open AI said Monday that its security committee will oversee the safety and security processes for the development and deployment of the company’s artificial intelligence model, as an independent body.

The change follows the committee’s own recommendations to OpenAI’s board of directors, which were made public for the first time.

OpenAI, the company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPTformed its Safety and Security Committee in May to assess and further develop the company’s existing safety practices.

The launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 sparked a significant wave of interest and excitement around AI.

The hype around ChatGPT highlighted both the opportunities and challenges of AI, sparking debates about its ethical use and potential bias.

As part of the committee’s recommendations, OpenAI said it is evaluating the development of an “Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) for the AI ​​industry, to enable the sharing of threat intelligence and Cybersecurity information between entities within the AI ​​sector.”

The independent committee will be chaired by Zico Kolterprofessor and chair of the machine learning department at Carnegie Mellon University, who sits on OpenAI’s board of directors. “We’re looking at more segmentation of internal information and more staff to deepen 24/7 security operations teams,” according to OpenAI.

The company also said it will work to be more transparent about the capabilities and risks of its AI models.

Last month, OpenAI signed an agreement with the US government for research, testing and evaluation of the company’s AI models.
