Concerns about AI impacting jobs were expressed by 42% of employees overall, with lower-income individuals being the most concerned. Additionally, 35% of non-users and 60% of AI users expressed concerns about AI taking their jobs.
OpenAI's Preparedness Framework
OpenAI introduced a new preparedness framework to address safety concerns related to AI models. The framework includes running evaluations and scorecards for frontier AI models across categories such as cybersecurity, CBRN risks, persuasion, and model autonomy. Only models with a post-mitigation score of medium or below can be deployed, and only models with a post-mitigation score of high or below can be further developed. Decision-making is supported by a cross-functional safety advisory group and the board of directors has the ability to reverse decisions.
