OpenAI, a leading AI research organization, has sparked discussions around its commitment to openness following comments from its co-founder, Ilya Sutskever, and Elon Musk. Sutskever's remarks, highlighted in a series of tweets, suggest a shift in the company's approach to sharing its technology. He indicated that as OpenAI gets closer to building advanced AI systems, it might start to limit how open it is with its research, stating that it's 'totally OK to not share the science' after benefiting from the AI's development. This stance was acknowledged by Elon Musk with a simple 'Yup.' The concept of 'open' in OpenAI, as explained by Sutskever in an email from January 2016, was clarified to not necessarily pertain to open sourcing but rather ensuring that the benefits of AI are widely shared. Additionally, the discussion touched on the intersection of AI and cryptocurrency, with a bullish outlook on the combination of Crypto and AI. These revelations have led to discussions about the implications of such a policy shift for the broader AI and tech community.
I can't believe it was Ilya Sutskever, out of every single OpenAI staffer, the one who came up with the idea of justifying close sourcing OpenAI's tech and invented such a thin argument to wash the company's face https://t.co/2XRk9LzkE8
Ilya told Elon: “As we get closer to building AI, it will make sense to start being less open. The Open in openAI means that everyone should benefit from the fruits of AI after its built, but it's totally OK to not share the science...”, to which Elon replied: “Yup” https://t.co/eOgxakCHUW
