WASHINGTON: Sam Altman, the chief executive of ChatGPT's OpenAI, told US lawmakers on Tuesday (May 16) that regulating artificial intelligence was essential, after his poem-writing chatbot stunned the world.
"If this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong," Altman said.
Altman has since become the global face of AI as he both pushes out his company's technology, including to Microsoft and scores of other companies, and warns that the work could have nefarious effects on society. However, given concerns about disinformation, job security and other hazards,"we think that regulatory intervention by governments will be critical to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models", he said.Altman suggested the US government might consider a combination of licensing and testing requirements before the release of powerful AI models, with a power to revoke permits if rules were broken.
Blumenthal underlined that Europe had already advanced considerably with its AI Act that is set to go to a vote next month at the European Parliament. OpenAI's DALL-E last year sparked an online rush to create lookalike Van Goghs and has made it possible to generate illustrations and graphics with a simple request."There are more genies yet to come for more bottles," said New York University professor emeritus Gary Marcus, another panellist.
