“OpenAI’s latest models have “meaningfully” increased the risk that artificial intelligence will be misused to create biological weapons, the company has acknowledged.
The San Francisco-based group announced its new models, known as o1, on Thursday, touting their new abilities to reason, solve hard maths problems and answer scientific research questions.
Yoshua Bengio, a professor of computer science at the University of Montreal and one of the world’s leading AI scientists, said that if OpenAI now represented “medium risk” for chemical and biological weapons “this only reinforces the importance and urgency” of legislation such as a hotly debated bill in California to regulate the sector.”
