OpenAI scraps rollout of new ChatGPT model over safety concerns | BBC News

OpenAI has announced it will not release its latest AI model due to safety concerns.

Its GPT-6.1 Astra system, which performs tasks like browsing the web and using apps by itself, “didn’t quite meet the bar” of the company’s standards, according to Saachi Jain, head of safety systems at OpenAI.

It comes as breaches by major AI firms’ models intensify the debate about risks posed by the tech – with Anthropic underlining its concerns AI might threaten humanity as it prepares to go public.
