Artificial intelligence could put jobs in jeopardy
FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu has the latest on jobs at risk as AI further develops on 'America's Newsroom.'
Critics who slammed OpenAI’s ChatGPT system as "woke" and riddled with liberal bias are creating their own chatbots.
Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk is reportedly assembling a team of artificial intelligence experts to build an alternative to ChatGPT – and other similar ideas may also be in development.
The New York Times reported that the founder of Gab, a right-wing social media platform, is working on an AI software with "the ability to generate content freely without the constraints of liberal propaganda wrapped tightly around its code."
OpenAI’s GPT-4 is the latest deep learning model from the company that "exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks," according to the lab. Musk has repeatedly criticized the system, including for its apparent liberal bias, such as the system writing a favorable poem about President Biden but unwilling to do the same for former President Donald Trump.

"The danger of training AI to be woke – in other words, lie – is deadly," Musk tweeted at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in December.

Meanwhile, a professor in New Zealand carried out an experiment on a chatbot with a series of quizzes to determine if there was any bias. Across more than a dozen tests, David Rozado found consistent "liberal," "progressive" and "Democratic" political bias.

Rozado, a professor at Te Pūkenga-New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, began another experiment dubbed "RightWingGPT," which trained the system to produce answers with a conservative leaning.

Musk co-founded OpenAI back in 2015, but left the company’s board in 2018. Musk said he left in part because the company was chasing profits and not serving as an open-source "counterweight" to Google.
OpenAI found itself in the crosshairs of an open letter published last week calling for a six-month pause on research at AI labs, specifically saying systems more powerful than GPT-4 should be halted.
"AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity, as shown by extensive research and acknowledged by top AI labs," the open letter published by nonprofit Future of Life stated.

It was signed by more than 2,000 tech experts, including Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, as well as professors from across the globe, and others. They are calling for the pause to give the AI labs and policymakers space to create safeguards and rules on artificial intelligence.
