ChatGPT开发商OpenAI支持国会一项两党法案的部分条款,该法案要求规模最大的AI公司将其大型语言模型提交独立审计,该公司首席全球事务官克里斯·莱恩(Chris Lehane)表示。

OpenAI此前曾支持州一级的AI监管立法,但此次是该公司首次支持联邦强制要求第三方机构评估AI开发者工作的法案。

OpenAI发言人向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,莱恩在周二华盛顿特区与议员们的圆桌会议上表达了对这项提案的支持,该提案包含在目前提交议员审议的《前沿法案》(FRONTIER Act)中。

具体而言,独立机构必须认定某AI公司的安全协议足够严格,能够减轻该法案所称的“可接受级别的灾难性风险”。

莱恩发表此番言论之际,AI研究人员和开发者正就先进AI可能对人类造成伤害的风险发出警告。

监管前沿AI模型

由加利福尼亚州共和党众议员杰伊·奥伯诺尔特(Jay Obernolte)和马萨诸塞州民主党众议员洛里·特拉汉(Lori Trahan)联合提出的《前沿法案》,还要求AI开发者发布其模型报告并披露安全事故。

该发言人指出,尽管OpenAI支持对AI模型进行第三方审计,但该公司并未完全认可这项法案。

在9月9日的一篇博客文章中,莱恩呼吁采取监管行动管控AI开发。OpenAI呼吁国会制定强制性的全国AI安全要求,并倡导领先的AI开发者合作制定行业标准。

“风险巨大。先进AI可以加速新药研发、强化关键基础设施、扩大经济机会,并帮助解决人类几代人都未能攻克的科学难题,”莱恩写道。“但让模型变得更实用的能力也伴随着风险,而且这些风险不会只局限于少数前沿实验室。”

约瑟夫·米勒(Joseph Miller)是AI安全研究员、支持放缓AI开发的组织“英国暂停AI”(PauseAI UK)的创始人,他表示,关于如何管控潜在AI风险的公众讨论早已该提上日程。他还认为,若无政府干预,领先的AI开发者不太可能采取足够有力的措施保障其技术安全。

“我们需要政府牵头推动此事,因为如果没有政府介入,他们很可能不会采取行动,”米勒告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。

OpenAI backs measure that would require independent audits of AI models

ChatGPT maker OpenAI supports parts of a bipartisan bill in Congress that would require the largest AI companies to submit their large language models to independent audits, according to Chris Lehane, the company’s chief global affairs officer.

OpenAI has previously backed state legislation to regulate AI, but this marks the first time the company has thrown its weight behind a federal mandate that would require a third-party group to assess AI developers’ work.

Lehane expressed support for the proposal, which is included in a bill now before lawmakers called the FRONTIER Act, during a roundtable with lawmakers in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, an OpenAI spokesperson told CBS News.

Specifically, an independent organization would have to determine that an AI company’s safety protocols are sufficiently rigorous to mitigate what the bill describes as “acceptable levels of catastrophic risk.”

Lehane’s comments come as AI researchers and developers warn about the potential for advanced AI to inflict harm on people.

Patrolling frontier models

The FRONTIER Act, sponsored by Reps. Jay Obernolte, a Republican from California, and Lori Trahan, a Democrat from Massachusetts, would also require AI developers to publish reports on their models and disclose safety incidents.

Although OpenAI supports third-party audits of AI models, the company hasn’t endorsed the bill in its entirety, the spokesperson noted.

In a Sept. 9 blog post, Lehane called for regulatory action to control AI development. OpenAI is calling for Congress to enact mandatory national AI safety requirements and advocates that leading AI developers collaborate to develop industry standards.

“The stakes are enormous. Advanced AI could accelerate the development of new medicines, strengthen critical infrastructure, expand economic opportunity, and help solve scientific problems that have resisted generations of human effort,” Lehane wrote. “But the capabilities that make models more useful also come with risks, and they will not remain confined to a few frontier laboratories.”

Joseph Miller, an AI safety researcher and founder of PauseAI UK, a group that supports slowing AI development, said that the public debate over how to control potential AI risks is long overdue. He also thinks leading AI developers are unlikely to take sufficiently strong measures to safeguard their technology absent government intervention.

“We need government to lead on it, because they probably aren’t going to do it without the government stepping in,” Miller told CBS News.
