OpenAI has launched the OpenAI Forum, an invitation-only online community that aims to connect experts and students in the field of AI. The forum is free to join and offers both online and in-person events. OpenAI is screening applicants and asks for a time commitment of one hour per quarter. Community members will have paid opportunities to support OpenAI research projects. Prospective members can apply by filling out a form on the OpenAI Forum website, providing personal information and a LinkedIn profile link. Criteria for selection include demonstrated interest in AI, the ability to commit time, and expertise in a professional or academic field. Members will contribute to activities such as model evaluations and ensuring the safety of frontier models. The forum offers roundtables and community events featuring domain experts, providing a chance for members to be part of OpenAI’s network and have their voices heard. OpenAI emphasizes the need for broad participation from stakeholders with different backgrounds to develop artificial generalized intelligence (AGI).
