  OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed concerns about the EU AI Act and stated that the company may withdraw its services from the European market if it cannot comply with the regulations. Altman's remarks came after a talk in London, where he emphasized the importance of the Act's details. According to The Financial Times, Altman said, "We will try to comply, but if we can't comply we will cease operating." Altman highlighted the potential classification of systems like ChatGPT as "high risk" under the EU legislation, which would require OpenAI to meet safety and transparency requirements. Altman acknowledged that there are technical limits to what is achievable in meeting these requirements, stating, "Either we'll be able to solve those requirements or not." Compliance with the EU AI Act poses technical challenges and business threats to OpenAI. The Act includes provisions that necessitate disclosure of information about the design and tra...

  OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, is set to testify before the U.S. Congress and propose the implementation of licenses for companies developing powerful artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The company, known for its creation of the ChatGPT chatbot, believes that such licensing or registration requirements would enable the establishment of safety standards. By mandating testing procedures before the release of AI systems and ensuring the publication of results, the U.S. can effectively regulate AI development, according to Altman's prepared testimony. The rapid advancement of AI technology has spurred concerns about its potential negative impact on society, including issues such as prejudice, misinformation, and even existential threats. Recognizing the significance of addressing these concerns, the White House has brought together top technology CEOs, including Altman, to discuss AI. Additionally, U.S. lawmakers are actively seeking ways to harness the benefits of AI while sa...

  Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly competitive, as major tech giants such as Google and OpenAI vie for dominance in the field. Both companies have released hundreds of research papers related to AI in recent years, but are now planning to restrict the public sharing of their research. This move is being made in response to a surge of interest in AI applications, which could put smaller upstarts at an advantage if they gain insights from publicly available research. Google has been a leader in the AI field for many years, but was caught off guard by OpenAI's ChatGPT AI-informed chatbot when it was initially released last fall. This showcased notable improvements when an updated, more powerful version of the generative AI bot was rolled out this March. Concerns arose that the development of ChatGPT was aided by the information contained in AI-related academic papers published by Google Research. As a result, Google announced a policy change earlier this year rega...
