OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently responded to a letter signed by tech leaders, including Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, which proposed to pause powerful AI experiments. During a virtual event at MIT, Altman shared his opinion and emphasized on the safety protocols suggested and the six-month research OpenAI conducted before the release of ChatGPT 4. Musk, Wozniak and over 1,000 other tech leaders believe AI experiments should resume responsibly and protocols should be set in place to ensure safe development.
OpenAI, founded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, is under investigation by the Spanish Data Protection Authority (AEPD) and the Italian Data Protection Authority (DPA) over potential GDPR violations. OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot is currently blocked in Italy but still accessible in Spain. To ensure users' rights and freedoms, the AEPD is looking for ways to ensure OpenAI's technologies, such as artificial intelligence, comply with the EU's data protection framework.
