Democratic Inputs to AI
On 5/25, OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, the "headquarters of AI," announced
OpenAI "supports experiments to improve democratic processes."
Total $1,000,000.00 ...... One hundred and ten thousand yen?
What is this? democratic process? Why would OpenAI pay 100 million for this?
Objective of "Democratic Input to AI".
AI has far-reaching economic and social implications
It is not right that decision-making of "what AI should be" is done by "a few people" such as the management of a for-profit company.
Should be shaped by "Diverse perspectives" that reflect [public interest (e.g., public good)
Support experimental projects to take the first steps in this direction
Recruit a team to develop a proof of concept of a democratic process that can answer the question, "What are the rules that AI systems should follow?"
We (OpenAI) want to learn from these experiments and use them as the basis for a more global, more ambitious process.
We hope to explore issues related to decision-making and build new democratic tools that can inform decision-making more directly in the future.

The following is provided as a summary of the OpenAI blog post "Democratic Inputs to AI" in Japanese bulleted format.
OpenAI is launching a program to award ten $100,000 grants to fund experiments to set up a democratic process for determining what rules AI systems should follow.
AI shapes the lives of individual people, the way they interact, and the way society as a whole evolves. As such, decisions about AI behavior should be shaped by a diversity of perspectives that reflect the public interest.
AI needs more detailed and adaptive guidelines beyond the legal framework. No single individual, company, or country should dictate these decisions.
This grant program is being initiated as a first step in this direction. Teams from around the world are invited to develop a proof of concept of a democratic process for answering questions about what rules AI systems should follow.
Decisions regarding the governance of the most powerful systems and their deployment require strong public oversight. This grant is offered as a step toward establishing a democratic process for oversight of AGI and ultimately superintelligence.
By "democratic process" we mean a process in which a broad representative group exchanges views, engages in interactive discussions, and ultimately determines the outcome through a transparent decision-making process.
To apply for a grant, you are invited to submit the required application materials by June 24, 2023 at 9:00 PM PST. Successful grant recipients may be individuals, teams, or organizations. Each recipient will receive a $100,000 grant to pilot the proposal described in the application materials.
