OpenAI has filed a trademark application for GPT-5, the next iteration of its popular large language model. This move could signal the future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Although CEO Sam Altman previously denied rumors about the development of GPT-5, the recent trademark application suggests otherwise.
The trademark application covers various categories related to AI and language models, including computer programs, artificial speech, and natural language processing. Owning the trademark means that OpenAI would have exclusive rights to everything associated with the GPT-5 name.
While OpenAI has not officially confirmed the development of GPT-5, reputable AI developers claim that it will be released this year. One AI developer, Siqi Chen, revealed that OpenAI aims to achieve AGI with this new model. AGI refers to an AI system that can think and behave like a human.
Having human-like artificial intelligence raises concerns about how we handle its capabilities. Movies and shows have depicted the potential impact of AGI, but the reality could be even more significant. OpenAI, however, is taking the lead in controlling AI development and is actively involved in discussions about regulations and potential impacts.
In May 2023, CEO Sam Altman participated in the first-ever Senate hearing for AI development, emphasizing the company’s commitment to creating and following regulations. OpenAI has also formed a team, led by Ilya Sutskever, to control the development of future AI superintelligence. This team, known as the Superalignment team, aims to train AI systems responsibly.
Although the details about GPT-5 remain undisclosed, it is clear that OpenAI is at the forefront of AI development and regulation. While the challenges of managing AGI are daunting, banning its development could potentially encourage covert development. Implementing regulations allows for monitoring and responsible progress in the field of AI.
As we await further information and confirmation from OpenAI regarding GPT-5, it is evident that the emergence of AGI could have a profound impact on society. It is crucial to approach its development and implementation with careful consideration and ethical frameworks to ensure the betterment of humanity.
