OpenAI CEO confirms no plans for GPT-5 development

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that the company is not currently training GPT-5, the successor to its AI language model GPT-4, and won't be doing so for some time. Altman also mentioned that the company is working on upgrades and updates to GPT-4. He addressed an open letter signed by tech leaders requesting companies such as OpenAI pause development of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, saying it lacked technical nuance. OpenAI's generative chatbot, ChatGPT, has gained over 100 million monthly active users, but has faced privacy concerns and regulatory scrutiny in Italy and Spain.
