AI Everywhere: Transforming Our World, Empowering Humanity

Key ideas

Murati explains how OpenAI learned to turn research into products and argues that safety work, staged releases and frontier regulation should develop alongside capability.

1. 1

   Capabilities are a hard place to start

   Murati says OpenAI assumed commercial partners would turn GPT-3 into products through its API, then found that very hard for them, so it began building products itself. Her explanation is that you begin from a general capability rather than from a problem in the world.

2. 2

   Build safety alongside capability

   Murati argues that safety, security and societal impact cannot be an afterthought and need to be built in alongside the technology. She says a smarter system is easier to direct, and that OpenAI is trying to predict a model's capabilities before training ends so that guardrails can be prepared.

3. 3

   Widen access in stages

   For voice, Murati describes starting with experts and red teamers, building mitigations, then moving to about 1,000 users and on to larger groups as confidence grows. She says OpenAI does not let people make their own voices with the technology because it is still studying the risks and does not yet feel able to handle misuse.

4. 4

   Regulate the frontier, not the whole ecosystem

   Murati says OpenAI has advocated more regulation for frontier models, where the risks are higher, while leaving room for smaller models from people with fewer resources. She favors regulation built on work already done in practice, plus more forecasting for systems still to come.

5. 5

   Nobody has measured the jobs impact yet

   Murati says she is not an economist and that she does not think anyone really knows how many jobs will be created, changed or lost, because this is not being rigorously studied. She expects the tools to create a lot of value and names the open question of how it gets distributed.
