OpenAI: "AI Should Empower People to Explore, Debate, and Create Without Arbitrary Restrictions—" ...

OpenAI 's updated Model Spec explicitly embraces intellectual freedom.

No idea is inherently off limits for discussion, so long as the model isn't causing significant harm to the user or others.

This philosophy is embedded in the "Stay in bounds" and "Seek the truth together" sections.

And it looks like the plan is to retreat from the apparently much more viewpoint-discriminatory position documented in, for instance, the report by The Future of Free Speech on Freedom of Expression in Generative AI: A Snapshot of Content Policies (see pp. 30 & 31).
