OpenAI says it will no longer train its newest AI models on information from the live internet, citing "significant risks."

✨ What happened

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, announced that its newest AI models will no longer be trained on data from the live internet. That means the system will not learn from websites that keep changing as those changes happen.

The company cited "significant risks" as the reason. The announcement does not go into detail about what those risks are.

📌 Why it matters

The decision came weeks after one of OpenAI's engineers said that such an approach would not work. The company is therefore changing its view on how AI should be trained.

For ordinary users, this shows that how AI models are built and the safety questions around them remain under active discussion.
