Elon Musk, Sam Altman e un numero piuttosto cospicuo di nomi della Silicon Valley ha presentato OpenAI, una no-profit dedicata ad avanzare lo stato dell’intelligenza artificiale senza concentrarsi sui profitti, ma sul “bene” che l’umanità può derivarne (se volete spaventarvi, c’è una serie di lunghi post del blog Wait but Why che spiega cosa potrebbe succedere nel caso vada tutto storto).
Because of AI’s surprising history, it’s hard to predict when human-level AI might come within reach. When it does, it’ll be important to have a leading research institution which can prioritize a good outcome for all over its own self-interest.
We’re hoping to grow OpenAI into such an institution. As a non-profit, our aim is to build value for everyone rather than shareholders. Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world. We’ll freely collaborate with others across many institutions and expect to work with companies to research and deploy new technologies.
