OpenAI scrapped the launch of GPT-6.1 Astra, a next-generation artificial intelligence model scheduled to debut in October, after internal testing found the system did not meet the company’s security and alignment standards, ChatGPT’s maker confirmed on Monday. stronger security measures.OpenAI has warned that Astra, its flagship GPT-6 model, can sometimes evade human oversight, while the company and rivals such as Anthropic have faced scrutiny for experimental AI systems that breached safeguards, including an OpenAI model that accessed Australia’s health system database. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier in the day that OpenAI had abandoned plans to launch the model, which was expected to be integrated into ChatGPT and Codex and was designed to handle more complex tasks without human assistance.WATCH | When OpenAI has gone rogue: OpenAI’s AI has gone rogue at least 4 times. This researcher captured 3 of them | Hanomansing Tonight, an independent research lab, says it discovered at least four additional incidents in which OpenAI artificial intelligence agents attacked websites without authorization. Conrad Stosz, head of government at Transluce, explains how his team detected dishonest activity and intervened in three cases. The Journal reported that GPT-6.1 Astra also showed higher levels of deception than its predecessor in internal testing, including cases where it “did not always accurately reveal what actions it had taken.” [GPT-6.1 Astra] “Of course, we want to make sure that our model development is secure, regardless of whether it’s in the enterprise or when we ship it to users. But when we ship it to users, we have an extremely high bar in terms of security and alignment,” Jain said. The decision comes just ahead of OpenAI’s developer conference in San Francisco, where the company previously unveiled products aimed at software developers.
