OpenAI has faced a lot of flak lately. Be it the petition over 12,000 people signed to pause AI experiments for six months (particularly the training of models more powerful than GPT-4) or the controversy surrounding the ban of ChatGPT in various countries. But now, the company has finally opened up. 

OpenAI recently shared its approach to developing safe AI systems, which talks about the deployment of models – GPT-4 and alike – responsibly, ethically and continually. But, many experts and critics are not buying this. They believe that its approach is flawed and pointless. 

“This is a bitterly disappointing and vacuous PR window-dressing,” said Geoffrey Miller, an American author and evolutionary psychologist.
