OpenAI has conducted a survey involving over 1000 people to gather public input on how AI models should behave. This initiative, termed ‘collective alignment,’ aims to integrate diverse human values into the default settings of AI models, reflecting a broader range of perspectives. By comparing public opinions with OpenAI’s internal Model Spec, the company seeks to improve AI alignment and better reflect the values and preferences of a diverse global population. This effort underscores OpenAI’s commitment to developing more responsible and ethical AI systems.
