OpenAI recently released a detailed report on the security update of its latest model GPT-4o. This model represents a significant advancement in OpenAI's AI lineup, which is based on the widely recognized ChatGPT technology. ChatGPT works as a chatbot powered by deep learning (DL) and large language models (LLM), which is an integral part of popular virtual assistants such as Google Assistant, Siri, and Amazon Alexa. While GPT-3.0 is available for free, GPT-4o offers cutting-edge features and advanced capabilities.

GPT-4o: The 'Omni Model'

The GPT-4o model is a versatile, multimodal system that accepts inputs in audio, video, text, and image formats, allowing it to generate contextually appropriate responses. Unlike its predecessors, GPT-4o is a paid model, offering faster response times and a dedicated system card for improved functionality and security.

The White House's commitment to AI safety

The Biden-Harris Administration has emphasized the importance of AI safety, and has secured voluntary commitments from leading AI companies, including OpenAI, to address the risks posed by this rapidly evolving technology. 

The governance framework consists of seven key principles, one of which is to build systems that prioritize security through strong cybersecurity measures and protection against insider threats .

Highlights of the released report

The report on GPT-4o's system card  details various safety and security measures. Some of the key points are as follows:

• Advanced multimodal capabilities: GPT-4o’s ability to process and generate responses across different media types – audio, video, text, and images – makes it more adaptable and responsive to user needs.
• Advanced security protocols: This model incorporates stringent security measures, including regular audits and the application of encryption technologies to maintain the security and confidentiality of data.
• Audio input: GPT-4o processes audio input with an average response time of 232 milliseconds, which closely resembles human conversational response times.
• Diverse data sources: The training data for GPT-4o spans across multiple domains, including web data, code, mathematical datasets, and multimodal data such as images and speech nuances.
• Risk identification: The model underwent a four-step risk identification process led by a red team, covering categories such as bias, misinformation, private data protection, copyright, etc.
• Multilingual support: The risk assessment included 45 languages ​​from 29 countries, ensuring comprehensive linguistic coverage and reducing language-based vulnerabilities.
• Text-to-Speech (TTS) improvements: This model addresses issues such as background noise and cross-talk, and takes specific safeguards against unauthorized voice cloning.
• Speaker voice accuracy: GPT-4o has shown significant improvement in speaker voice accuracy, achieving 14 points compared to 12 in previous versions.
• Risk mitigation strategies: This model involves moderation in text transcription when processing audio input, effectively blocking violent, erotic, or otherwise inappropriate content.
• Ethical AI use: The System card emphasizes OpenAI’s commitment to ethical AI use, highlighting the importance of transparency, accountability, and addressing potential biases in models.

conclusion

The newly released system card for the GPT-4.0 Omni model provides comprehensive information about various aspects of the updated model, including TTS, voice capabilities, cybersecurity, voice cloning, language support, and response time, among others. 

This update is important because it addresses one of the seven key points outlined in the White House's commitment to AI safety. Overall, GPT-4.0 represents an advancement over previous models, providing enhanced features and improvements.
