Hub AI and society

Artificial Intelligence is a key technology that can help us solve major societal challenges such as climate change, energy supply, healthcare, education or logistics. AI can solve specific problems more effectively by supporting us in decision-making, automating solutions and thus scaling them, or discovering completely new solutions. But the use of AI also poses new risks, for example when it comes to surveillance or questions of social justice.

What is our society doing with AI – and what is AI doing to our society? We shed light on this question in our AI and Society Content Hub.

OpenAI is providing the US AI Safety Institute at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) early access to its next frontier AI model. The collaboration aims to improve AI evaluation methods, says OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. He also reaffirmed the company's pledge to dedicate at least 20% of its computing resources to safety measures. This comes after former OpenAI safety researcher Jan Leike claimed the company had not kept this commitment. Altman also said that in May, OpenAI removed clauses that allowed the company to revoke previously granted stock options and required employees to remain silent. The change aims to create an environment where employees can "raise concerns and feel comfortable doing so," Altman writes.
