Q* Project By OpenAI
OpenAI staff believes Q* (pronounced Q-Star) could be a breakthrough in the startup’s work on artificial general intelligence (AGI). The firm defines AGI as autonomous systems that surpass humans in most economically valuable tasks.
A discussion related to Q* has also started on an OpenAI community forum after the news. Users raised concerns about whether OpenAI is following ethics.
