OpenAI’s Sam Altman clashes with EU commissioner over AI Act

[ad_1] OpenAI Inc. Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman's European goodwill tour devolved into a war of words with European Union regulators after he said his company could pull out of the bloc over its proposed AI Act.“The details really matter,” Altman, whose company kicked off the artificial intelligence boom with the release of ChatGPT last year, told reporters in London this week. “We will try to comply, but if we can't comply we will cease operating.” His warning comes as EU regulators are considering laws that will hold AI companies accountable for how their systems are used. EU lawmakers voted in committee in favor of additional controls earlier this month, amid fears the new technology could be used to create deepfakes or violate people's privacy.

EU parliament set to wield regulation hammer on AI; Know how it affects tech like ChatGPT-key takeaways

But European Union has different plans as it has already begun drafting an ambitious Artificial Intelligence Act, which could be the first of its kind.How things changedThe draft was initially written two years ago, but the technology has moved in a different direction and the 108-page long draft falls...

In global rush to regulate AI, Europe set to be trailblazer

[ad_1] The breathtaking development of artificial intelligence has dazzled users by composing music, creating images and writing essays, while also raising fears about its implications. Even European Union officials working on groundbreaking rules to govern the emerging technology were caught off guard by AI's rapid rise.The 27-nation bloc proposed the Western world's first AI rules two years ago, focusing on reining in risky but narrowly focused applications. General purpose AI systems like chatbots were barely mentioned. Lawmakers working on the AI Act considered whether to include them but weren't sure how, or even if it was necessary. “Then ChatGPT kind of boom, exploded,” said Dragos Tudorache, a Romanian member of the European Parliament co-leading the measure. “If there was still...

‘No time to waste’ on AI law, says EU’s Vestager

[ad_1] The European Union needs to speed up work on artificial intelligence (AI) regulation, Commission vice president Margrethe Vestager said Monday, as policymakers wrestle with the risks from the emergent technology."There is no time to waste" on passing rules to control the use of AI, Vestager told reporters in Berlin. The European Commission put forward regulatory proposals in early 2021, but progress on the legislation has been slow. EU member states set out their views on the Commission's ideas at the end of 2022, while MEPs will put the matter to an initial vote in committee in Strasbourg on Thursday.The Parliament's opinion should be confirmed in a plenary vote in June, before negotiations between the EU's institutions begin in earnest."What I think is important is speed.
