"A race toward the abyss": Experts denounce the opacity of OpenAI's latest AI model

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General4 September 2026 at 11:51

The launch of OpenAI's most powerful artificial intelligence model sparked a wave of criticism from industry experts. The experts warn that the design of this model "could be the worst advancement for AI safety to date."

The main concern of experts is the opacity of the new model. According to critics, the lack of transparency in the system's internal workings represents a significant risk for the responsible development of artificial intelligence technology.

The experts use the expression "a race toward the abyss" to describe the current situation, suggesting that the industry is following a dangerous path without the proper safety and transparency precautions.

This OpenAI model marks a moment of tension between accelerated technological advancement and concerns about safety and ethics in the development of artificial intelligence systems.
