We are working to build tools / that one day can help us make new discoveries / and address some of humanity's biggest challenges, / like climate change / and curing cancer. // Our current systems aren't yet capable / of doing these things, / but it has been immensely gratifying to watch / many people around the world / get so much value / from what these systems / can already do today. // We love seeing people use our tools to create, / to learn, / to be more productive. // We're very optimistic / that there are going to be fantastic jobs in the future, / and that current jobs can get / much better. // We also love seeing what developers are doing to improve lives. // For example, / Be My Eyes / used our new multimodal technology in GPT-4 / to help visually impaired individuals / navigate their environment. // We believe that the benefits of the tools we have deployed so far / vastly outweigh the risks, / but ensuring their safety is vital to our work, / and we make significant efforts / to ensure that safety is built into our systems / at all levels. // Before releasing any new systems, / OpenAI conducts extensive testing, / engages external experts for detailed reviews / and independent audits, / improves the model's behavior, / and implements robust / safety and monitoring systems. / Before we released GPT-4, / our latest model, / we spent over six months / conducting extensive evaluations, / external red teaming, / and dangerous capability testing. / We are proud of the progress that we made. // GPT-4 / is more likely to respond helpfully and truthfully / and refuse harmful requests / than any other widely deployed model / of similar capability. // However, / we think that regulatory intervention by governments / will be critical to mitigate the risks / of increasingly powerful models. // For example, / the US government / might consider a combination of licensing / and testing requirements / for development and release of AI models / above a threshold of capabilities. // There are several other areas / I mentioned in my written testimony / where I believe that companies like ours / can partner with governments, / including ensuring that the most powerful AI models / adhere to a set of safety requirements, / facilitating processes to develop and update safety measures, / and examining opportunities / for global coordination. // And as you mentioned, / I think it's important / that companies have their own responsibility here, / no matter what Congress does. // This is a remarkable time / to be working on artificial intelligence. // But as this technology advances, / we understand that people are anxious, / about how it could change the way we live. // We are too. // But we believe that we can / and must work together / to identify / and manage the potential downsides / so that we can all enjoy / the tremendous upsides. // It is essential that powerful AI is developed / with democratic values in mind, / and this means that US leadership is critical. // I believe that we will be able to mitigate / the risks in front of us, / and really capitalize on this / technology's potential to grow the US economy / and the world, / and I look forward / to working with you all to meet this moment, / and I look forward to answering your questions. //Thank you. //
