A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR AI THIS WEEK?

November 24, 2023

If, like us at Optimal, you’ve been on the edge of your seat with the AI news this week, you'll wonder what is happening at OpenAi! As the dust settles and the management structure of the creators of the most infamous AI, Chat GPT is returned to business as usual, for this week’s blog - we thought we’d break down just what (allegedly) went down, and the reasons it’s more important than ever that Ai goes hand in hand with discretion.

What happened at OpenAi?

As of this blog's publication date, here’s what we know.

Friday 17/11/2023

  • Open Ai announced Sam Altman had stepped down as the CEO of OpenAi, sighting a loss of confidence in his leadership, and that he was ‘not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities’
  • Altman posts a goodbye post on X (formerly Twitter) confirming this and saying he ‘will have more to say about what's next later.’
  • OpenAI president/co-founder Greg Brockman quits over this decision, again confirming this on X
  • Numerous other OpenAI employees resign based on the removal of Sam Altman

Sunday 19/11/2023

  • An Interim CEO is appointed - Emmet Shear, former Twitch CEO
  • Microsoft announces its new AI department with Altman as the CEO, along with Brockman and several former OpenAI employees

Monday 20/11/2023

  • 600 of the 800 remaining employees of OpenAI sign a letter calling for a dissolution of the board and the restoration of Altman as CEO, or they’ll quit and join Microsoft

Tuesday 21/11/2023

  • Altman agreed to return as CEO of OpenAI on the condition that the company would reconfigure the board of directors.

What it a staged process brilliantly orchestrated by Sam Altman and the leadership at Microsoft?

What does this mean for ChatGPT?

You’ll notice that this dramatic and confusing set of facts works hard to exclude the reason behind the kerfuffle. Allegedly, OpenAI were on the verge of announcing its new project, Q* (Pronounced Q-star) - the next epoch of Chat GPT. This model would usher in the next significant step in generalised AI (AGI) - however, without any regulation, restrictions, or rules on how it would be used or governed - it posed a significant risk to humanity. It’s alleged that he was removed when staff members, with Altman at the head, brought this concern up in an open letter to the board.

Indeed, using an open, generalised AI poses risks to security and your IT networks. Without someone qualified in deep data science, compliance and security to monitor the data learnt from, you can very quickly end up with an AI full of errors, bias and aged data. It’s excellent for suggestions and inspiration and replicating its input without any knowledge of intent, insufficient for facts, delivering more qualified or diverse candidates, cold truths or hitting KPIs.

Chat GPT’s very own disclaimer reads, ‘ChatGPT can make mistakes. Verify important information.’ 

So, if you’re looking for an AI to help you streamline, automate and assist your recruitment process, you’ll need an AI trained on a specialist data set.
