GPT-4

Information technology - software - natural language processing - artificial intelligence - chatbots - ChatGPT.

GPT-4 is an abbreviation for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4.

It produces text outputs, based on both image and text inputs.

The previous version GPT-3.5 took text inputs only, and was also much less powerful in other ways.

GPT-4 was first released in March 2023 by its developer OpenAI. One of OpenAI's investors is Microsoft.

Among other applications, it powers ChatGPT.

GPT-4's power led a number of leading figures to call in an open letter for a pause in further developments.

We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4

"Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable. This confidence must be well justified and increase with the magnitude of a system's potential effects...

Therefore, we call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4. This pause should be public and verifiable, and include all key actors. If such a pause cannot be enacted quickly, governments should step in and institute a moratorium.”
