OpenAI, a company founded in 2015 with a mission to develop safe AI technology, testified before the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, calling for a new agency to regulate the use of powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Led by tech billionaire Elon Musk and CEO Sam Altman, OpenAI has released multiple AI products like ChatGPT and DALL-E. Altman is concerned about the potential of AI technologies to cheat on homework, damage copyright, spread lies, and create job displacement. He is starting a world tour to discuss AI and its potential risks with policymakers. OpenAI could be the key to assisting government officials in developing laws specific to AI technology.
