OpenAI cites safety concerns when scrapping latest AI model
The owner of ChatGPT has scrapped its latest AI model after safety concerns.
OpenAI says its GPT-6.1 Astra model missed the bar, as it would've performed tasks, like browsing the web, by itself.
Debate's intensifying about risks posed by the tech, with Reuters reporting rival AI company Anthropic plans to warn investors of potential existential threats.
Tech commentator Oskar Howell told Ryan Bridge you can't have rogue AIs off doing what they want.
He says a recent OpenAI system gained access to a number of Australian government systems, which may've prompted this roll back.
