OpenAI's AI System Costs $200 Per Month

OpenAI's new system, which is based on reinforcement learning technology, can learn through trial and error by working through various math problems. This process allows it to identify patterns and improve its performance over time. However, the system may still "hallucinate" or make mistakes like its predecessor ChatGPT. The system requires significant computing power to function, making it expensive, but OpenAI has begun selling a version of the technology called o1 to individuals and businesses for $200 per month.

OpenAI's AI Fuels Fears of Chinese Mind Control

The use of persuasive technologies, such as those developed by OpenAI and Anthropic, raises concerns about individual freedom and the potential for manipulation. To mitigate these risks, experts recommend prioritizing digital literacy education to raise awareness about how algorithms and personalized content work. Policymakers are also urging tech companies to share their research with regulators and stakeholders to establish clear standards or targeted regulation. This is seen as a crucial step in preventing the misuse of such technologies by adversaries, particularly in countries like China where they could be used to exert significant influence over individuals' beliefs and identities.
