OpenAI CEO in "historic" move calls for regulation before Congress (2 min read)
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified before a US Senate hearing this week and emphasized the need for government regulation of AI. Issues raised by lawmakers include election misinformation, job disruption, language limitations, copyright, harmful content, and impersonation. Altman proposed a government agency for licensing AI systems above a certain capability threshold. IBM’s chief privacy officer who was also at the hearing said it’s important to regulate risks as well and not the technology itself.
