OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the US Congress and called on the government to regulate the use and development of artificial intelligence. Writes about it BBC.
The businessman proposed the formation of a new AI agency that would deal with the issuance and withdrawal of permits for the creation of AI systems.
“[США] may consider combining licensing and testing requirements to develop and release models that exceed the capability threshold,” Altman said.
He also believes that companies like OpenAI should be independently audited.
The businessman acknowledged the impact of technology on the economy, including the labor market and layoffs in certain areas.
“This will affect jobs. We try to be as clear as possible on this issue,” he said.
Altman said he is concerned about the potential impact on democracy and the role of AI in disinformation campaigns, especially during elections.
Some congressmen insisted on the need for a legislative framework to make it easier for people to sue OpenAI.
According to Senator Richard Blumenthal, an AI-dominated future “is not necessarily what we want.”
“We need to maximize the good over the bad. Now Congress has a choice. We had the same choice when faced with social media. We failed to take advantage of this moment,” he warned.
Senator Josh Hawley said that AI could revolutionize. However, he also compared the new technology to the invention of the “atomic bomb”.
Participants noted the positive tone of the hearings. Congressmen also expressed bipartisan support for the creation of a new agency to regulate the industry.
However, legislators noted the rapid pace of technology development. They are not sure that the new agency will be able to keep up with the times.
On the eve of the hearing Altman spoke with a presentation to 60 legislators. According to congressmen, they were impressed by the report. After the main part, the businessman answered politicians’ questions for two hours.
Rep. Ted Lew said Altman showed off a version of ChatGPT that some lawmakers had never seen before.
Recall that in May, US Vice President Kamala Harris held a meeting with Altman and other leaders of tech giants, where they discussed the risks of artificial intelligence.
In April, Elon Musk spoke about the development of the technology with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
In March, hundreds of experts signed an open letter calling for a halt to experiments with large language models.
