Futurism reports that mystery continues to swirl
around drama at OpenAI that saw CEO Sam Altman
ousted and then reinstated less than a week later. .
One of the theories behind the upheaval is
that the company may have developed a highly
advanced AI that threw the board into chaos. .
Last week, Reuters was one of the outlets
to report that OpenAI had been spooked
by its Q* project, pronounced "Q star.".
The new Q* system has been touted as
a significant step towards the company's goal of
achieving an AGI, or artificial general intelligence.
Reuters reported that Mira Murati, a former OpenAI
nonprofit board member, acknowledged the existence
of this new Q* model in an internal staff message.
Sources claim that Q* was at the heart of the decision
to fire Altman over a push for commercializing
the product before it was fully understood.
Those sources claim the new AI system is capable of solving
grade-school math equations, an achievement long
considered a benchmark in developing an AGI.
In the case of math, we know existing
AIs have been shown to be capable
of undergraduate-level math but to
struggle with anything more advanced, Andrew Rogoyski, Director at the Surrey Institute
for People-Centered AI, via Futurism.
However, if an AI can solve new,
unseen problems, not just regurgitate
or reshape existing knowledge,
then this would be a big deal,
even if the math is relatively simple, Andrew Rogoyski, Director at the Surrey Institute
for People-Centered AI, via Futurism.
Futurism reports that researchers remain optimistic that if
Q* is capable of solving these simple math problems,
it would represent a major step forward toward actual AGI.
