In their letter to the council, the researchers noted the potential danger of AI, but the sources did not specify what kind of security problems they were talking about.

Sources say that the letter was among a long list of complaints that led to Altman's dismissal. Among the reasons were concerns about about commercializing advances before understanding the implications.

Recently OpenAI employees received an internal message that the letter to the the board and a project called Q* (pronounced Q-Star) were written before Altman was fired. Reuters writes. That some at OpenAI believe that Q* could be a breakthrough in the startup's quest for so-called so-called artificial general intelligence (AGI). At the same time, OpenAI defines AI as autonomous systems that outperform humans in most economically economically valuable tasks. In particular, the new model was able to solve previously inaccessible mathematical problems.
