[Resigned employees revealed OpenAI’s lack of risk awareness] On October 4th, an employee who recently resigned from the U.S. Open Artificial Intelligence Research Center (OpenAI) revealed on the 3rd that his former employer had insufficient risk awareness and called on the artificial intelligence (AI) industry to follow the example of the aviation or nuclear energy industry and adopt multiple safety protection measures. The employee, named David Robinson, claimed to have worked at OpenAI for more than three years and was one of the company's longest-serving employees. On the 3rd, he published a signed article in the American monthly "The Atlantic" titled "I quit my job at OpenAI because the corporate culture is rotten." Robinson said in the article that he participated in drafting the company's risk response framework and was responsible for overseeing 12 safety assessment reports released by cutting-edge models. He said: "Companies are busy jumping from one product release to the next, but they have not reached the level of prudential control that I think is needed." Robinson said, "The era of trial and error is over," and cutting-edge AI laboratories should follow the aviation or nuclear energy industries and adopt multiple protective measures and plan carefully. "Even if human errors inevitably occur occasionally, it will not lead to disaster." (Xinhua News Agency)
