In the spring of 2023, OpenAI’s CEO and co-founder, Sam Altman, confirmed that the company isn’t in the process of developing GPT-5, the anticipated follow-up to their AI language model GPT-4. This announcement was in response to a widely discussed open letter in the tech community urging institutions like OpenAI to halt the creation of AI systems more advanced than GPT-4 due to safety and ethical concerns. This letter has faced criticism, with disagreements in the tech industry about the level of threat AI poses and the feasibility of halting AI advancements.Altman pointed out technical inaccuracies in the letter and emphasized that, even though GPT-5 isn’t under development, OpenAI is enhancing GPT-4’s capabilities and is aware of the associated safety considerations.
