OpenAI’s call for AI regulation is tainted by conflict of interest, says Zerodha CTO Kailash Nadh

As conversational chatbots gain popularity, questions about AI regulation and the lack of transparency of these black box models arise. In a recent interview, Kailash Nadh, CTO of Zerodha, discusses AI’s impact on creativity and the need for regulation. Nadh is critical of OpenAI’s call for heavy regulation due to their conflict of interest. Nadh explains that the black box problem arises in AI because no lines of code dictate specific behaviors; instead, vast amounts of data are fed into the shell of code to form connections between words in abstract mathematical terms. Additionally, Nadh notes that AI’s use in decision-making across society may lead to dangerous outcomes if the technology is not understood fundamentally. Copyright infringement lawsuits are being filed against generative AI companies, raising the question of what constitutes originality and creativity in the age of AI. As AI becomes increasingly prevalent, there will likely be a market for niche, human-created content. Finally, Nadh points out that although AI is learning from information on the internet without consent, it is not exclusive to AI models, as search engines such as Google have also extracted data from the internet.
