OpenAi emphasized the role that medical and mental health workers played in his push to improve his product. Although it has already compiled a Council of Experts, it will expand the group to include people with “deep expertise” in eating disorders, substance use and health of adolescents.
“Earlier this year we started to call in a Council of Experts in the development of young people, mental health and interaction between people and computer,” Openai said. “Their input will help us to define and measure well-being, to determine priorities and design future guarantees-as future iterations of parental controls with the latest research in mind. Although the council will advise on our product, research and policy decisions, OpenAI remains responsible for the choices we make.”
