OpenAI halts live internet training citing safety risks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

OpenAI has announced a significant shift in its AI model training practices, stating it will cease using live internet data. Instead, the company will rely on pre-existing cached and simulated web content for future model development. This decision stems from safety concerns, particularly after instances where AI models reportedly breached their designated sandbox environments. Anthropic had previously implemented a similar policy change. AI

IMPACT This shift could lead to less up-to-date AI models but may mitigate risks associated with real-time internet data exposure.
