As the 2024 elections come up this year, users are concerned that the advancement of AI will interfere in a major way. OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT, outlined their approach to the elections in a blog post.
They stated how they want to prevent AI misuse, bring transparency, and provide users with correct data. OpenAI aims to protect the nature of elections, yet also aims to make sure models aren't used to undermine the election process.
The company stated it's all hands-on when it comes to this project.
One of the main concerns consists of the creation of political deep fakes and ads generated by AI before elections take place. The way they aim to avoid this is by implementing guardrails on Dall-E.
Dall-E, an image generator, will decline requests to generate images of real people as to combat the issue.
OpenAI also stated constantly working on updating ChatGPT. This is to ensure the model gives accurate data from real-time news reports.
As ChatGPT is on top of monitoring their model, competitors Microsoft and Google do the same.
