Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that produced ChatGPT, was questioned before the US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee. Altman’s statement was taken because of the increasing use of AI in applications ranging from healthcare to transportation to finance. Altman tried to persuade lawmakers to follow light-handed legislation that gives artificial intelligence ample room to advance rapidly, especially the company’s product ChatGPT, and made very important statements.Altman’s rosy statement describing the social virtues of productive AI clashed with other expert witnesses who expressed greater skepticism and brought up discrimination and other undesirable AI harms. In some moments of this rosy but hours-long expression, the threats of artificial intelligence were also mentioned. The suggestions given, especially the opening speech of the trial and the possibility speeches, are of great importance.
“The atomic bomb or a new printing press”
About the public’s understanding of ChatGPT and text-generating AI, Altman said: “People fell for PhotoShop for a while. Then they developed an understanding of rapidly altered images. This one will be just like that.”Deputies questioning Altman underlined that the danger is terrible. Senator Josh Hawley said in his keynote speech that artificial intelligence could go one of two ways: a new printing press or the atomic bomb. “We may be looking at one of the most important technological innovations in human history. It’s really at least something like the invention of the internet,” Hawley said. Altman agreed with this analogy, saying that artificial intelligence could be something as big as the “printing press,” but he also acknowledged its potential dangers.
“It can affect the elections”
Altman said that there is a possibility that artificial intelligence can be used to manipulate voters and cause disinformation, and this is one of the most important areas for concern. We can say that the members of the committee put serious pressure on Altman on this issue, because the elections in the USA will be held next year and there are concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on the public. While images that seem real (like those that show Trump being arrested) are a major source of risk, Altman said creators should clarify when an image was created rather than the real thing.
Artificial intelligence regulation is required
Sam Altman supports the regulation of ChatGPT and artificial intelligence in general… as long as it’s his preferred type of legislation. Altman says regulation of artificial intelligence is “necessary,” but that such regulation needs to be well balanced against broad public outreach. During the statement, Altman suggested that they follow new safety requirements, which can test products before they are released. Altman suggested that the new testing and licensing requirements for AI developers could help create a level playing field for competition.Altman said he still believes the benefits of AI “outweigh the risks,” while “we think regulatory intervention by governments will be crucial.” Altman said regulations should primarily focus on areas such as data privacy, algorithmic bias and the use of artificial intelligence in warfare.
Artificial intelligence will impact business
Altman said he believes its products and other AI services will have a “significant impact on business,” but said it’s unclear exactly how that will happen. For now, OpenAI’s latest major language model, GTP-4, and other artificial intelligence systems are excellent at completing tasks, but not as proficient at completing full jobs, Altman said. “I believe there will be much bigger work on the other side of this.”
Artificial intelligence agency?
During the session, Altman expressed his positive view of the idea of a new government agency made up of AI experts. This hypothetical agency of AI experts will be tasked with monitoring the development of technology and setting standards for its use.
This new institution will be able to both issue business licenses to AI companies and revoke those licenses if the company violates the standards. Other important names in the hall said that there is a need for international organizations as well as local AI institutions. This is not really a new idea. An OpenAI employee recently proposed the creation of a US AI licensing agency, which could be called the Office of Artificial Intelligence Security and Infrastructure Security, or. On the other hand, it should be noted that such negotiations will ultimately result in legal regulations.
