OpenAI has upgraded the potential biological risk level for its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, implementing additional safeguards as a \u201cprecautionary approach.\u201d <\/p>\n
The AI firm on Thursday released ChatGPT agent, a new agentic AI model that can now perform tasks for users \u201cfrom start to finish,\u201d according to a company press release. <\/p>\n
OpenAI opted to treat the new model as having a high biological and chemical capability level in its preparedness framework, which evaluates for \u201ccapabilities that create new risks of severe harm.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we don\u2019t have definitive evidence that the model could meaningfully help a novice create severe biological harm\u2014our threshold for High capability\u2014we are exercising caution and implementing the needed safeguards now,\u201d OpenAI wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result, this model has our most comprehensive safety stack to date with enhanced safeguards for biology: comprehensive threat modeling, dual-use refusal training, always-on classifiers and reasoning monitors, and clear enforcement pipelines,\u201d it added. <\/p>\n
OpenAI\u2019s newest model, which began rolling out to various paid users last week, comes as tech companies increasingly turn toward the agentic AI space.<\/p>\n
Perplexity released an AI browser with agentic capabilities earlier this month, while Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced new tools last week to help its client build AI agents. <\/p>\n
The ChatGPT maker\u2019s latest release comes as the company plans to open its first office in Washington to boost its policy ambitions and show off its products, according to Semafor<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OpenAI has upgraded the potential biological risk level for its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, implementing additional safeguards as a \u201cprecautionary approach.\u201d The AI firm on Thursday released ChatGPT agent,<\/p>\n
