Last week, the Senate held a hearing to examine the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, representing the industry, expressed the need to act on regulating the technology. He noted that it is essential to have strict guidelines in order to ensure its safety and responsible usage.
Altman, accompanied by other representatives from OpenAI, elaborated on the kind of regulations the company would recommend through a blog post. The post outlined steps to consider when drafting a comprehensive regulatory plan for AI technology. While politicians have agreed to leaving the responsibility of establishing rules to the tech industry, OpenAI has come forward to provide guidance and suggestions.
