The San Francisco-based company said Astra was developed with stronger safeguards after that incident, though Astra itself was not involved in the hack.<\/p>\n
Some cybersecurity customers will get access to the new model this week, the company said, with a wider rollout to other paying customers to follow. Users on the free tier or the cheapest paid plan will not get access.<\/p>\n
In a blog post, OpenAI said Astra can autonomously handle a wide range of \u201ctedious\u201d computer tasks, including website creation, scientific analysis, game development, cybersecurity and coding.<\/p>\n
To illustrate the time savings of building autonomous AI agents with Astra, the company said the model could cut apartment hunting from six hours to under 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not unreasonable to feel that we are now in the AGI era,\u201d Brockman said on the call, referring to artificial general intelligence, a hypothetical stage at which AI systems match human intelligence across most tasks.<\/p>\n
OpenAI previously had an agreement with Microsoft, one of its earliest and largest investors, under which an exclusivity clause would end once OpenAI reached AGI. Those terms were scrapped in April.<\/p>\n
\u2018Limited window\u2019 <\/p>\n
OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki acknowledged there was still uncertainty about how a new model behaves once released.<\/p>\n
\u201cA model can become very good at achieving a goal, and it can still act in ways that go against what the person intended,\u201d Pachocki said on the same call.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also have to be willing to slow down or withhold further scaling when our confidence in safety is not sufficient,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
OpenAI, Anthropic and more than 100 other organisations signed an open letter last week calling for a co-ordinated global response to AI-related cybersecurity risks, warning that the window to strengthen cyber defences was limited.<\/p>\n
Anthropic went further, calling for industry-wide co-ordination on safety and on the pace of developing increasingly capable models.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that shared safety standards and international co-ordination on further AI development need to be prioritised now,\u201d OpenIA\u2019s Pachocki said.<\/p>\n
The US state of Alabama opened an investigation into OpenAI last week over the Hugging Face breach, his office citing what it called the company\u2019s complete lack of oversight and adequate safeguards.<\/p>\n
