ChatGPT maker OpenAI says it’s working to reduce bias, bad behaviour

OpenAI is responding to reports of biases, inaccuracies and inappropriate behavior by ChatGPT itself, and criticism more broadly of new chat-based search products now in testing from Microsoft Corp and Alphabet Inc’s Google. — Reuters

OpenAI, the artificial-intelligence research company behind the viral ChatGPT chatbot, said it is working to reduce biases in the system and will allow users to customise its behaviour following a spate of reports about inappropriate interactions and errors in its results.

“We are investing in research and engineering to reduce both glaring and subtle biases in how ChatGPT responds to different inputs,” the company said in a blog post. “In some cases ChatGPT currently refuses outputs that it shouldn’t, and in some cases, it doesn’t refuse when it should.”
