OpenAI announced on Tuesday that it has started training a new flagship artificial intelligence model, aiming to surpass its current GPT-4 technology.

As per New York Times, this new model is expected to elevate AI capabilities significantly, advancing towards the goal of creating artificial general intelligence (AGI), a machine with human-like abilities.

The company highlighted that this new model would power various AI products, including chatbots, digital assistants, search engines, and image generators.

Alongside this development, OpenAI is forming a Safety and Security Committee to address the potential risks of their advanced technologies.

OpenAI expressed pride in developing industry-leading models saying, "While we are proud to build and release models that are industry-leading on both capabilities and safety, we welcome a robust debate at this important moment."

The company strives to outpace competitors like Google, Meta, and Microsoft, who have been enhancing AI technologies over the past decade.

The existing GPT-4, launched in March 2023, enables applications to answer questions, write emails, generate papers, and analyze data.

An updated version, GPT-4o, unveiled this month, can also generate images and respond in a conversational voice.

Meanwhile, actress Scarlett Johansson noted that GPT-4o's voice sounded strikingly similar to hers, leading to legal actions, although OpenAI denied using her voice.

AI models, trained on vast data including texts, images, and videos, undergo a lengthy process of training and fine-tuning before public release. 

However, the new model might take nine months to a year to complete this process.

The new Safety and Security Committee, including CEO Sam Altman and board members Bret Taylor, Adam D’Angelo, and Nicole Seligman, aims to implement safety policies by late summer or fall.

This move comes after the departure of Ilya Sutskever, a co-founder and safety leader, raising concerns about OpenAI's commitment to addressing AI risks.

This work will be led by John Schulman, another co-founder, who previously headed the team that created ChatGPT.
