Researchers are getting tired of OpenAI gatekeeping its breakthroughs
The Verge·1 min read
It is exactly the kind of gatekeeping the Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AGMAI), a group of experts OpenAI had previously pledged to consult on how to share its findings, warned against just a day before the announcement. “We recommend that AI companies do not adopt this practice,” they said, arguing that selecting certain people to receive the output first is “unnecessary,” borrows the reputation of selected researchers, and risks unequal access, biased selection, and delays, among other issues. Instead, they recommended that AI labs release output on scholarly repositories, with formalized proofs and information on how the problems were chosen, and provide funding and other support for people working on understanding the results.
