Meta Plans to Develop a New AI Model to Compete with GPT-4

In the current rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, Anthropic has recently announced an update to its 'Responsibility Expansion Policy (RSP)', which aims to effectively manage the potential risks posed by high-capability AI systems. As the company behind the popular chatbot Claude, this move by Anthropic clearly aims to find a balance between the continuously enhancing AI capabilities and the necessary safety standards. This new policy introduces what is called capability thresholds, as an additional safety assurance when AI model capabilities are increased.
Recently, OpenAI's research team discovered that the usernames chosen by users can somewhat influence the responses of ChatGPT during interactions. Although this effect is relatively minor and primarily seen in older models, the findings are still noteworthy. Users typically provide their names to ChatGPT for tasks, making the cultural, gender, and racial backgrounds inherent in those names an important factor in studying bias. In this research, the researchers explored ChatGPT.
Recently, the renowned media outlet The New York Times sent a cease-and-desist letter to an AI startup named Perplexity, demanding that the company stop using its content.

In fact, this is not the first time The New York Times has clashed with AI companies over content usage issues. Last year, the paper filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing it of illegally using their content while training AI models.
