OpenAI, the company responsible for the creation and development of ChatGPT, has been under scrutiny for AI security for some time now. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently testified before the US Senate. Evaluating the possibilities regarding ChatGPT, Altman said that stricter regulation should be applied to ensure confidentiality in this regard.
The artificial intelligence industry has been facing a lot of scrutiny lately. Previously, well-known names in the field of technology such as Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak signed a letter saying that artificial intelligence research should be temporarily paused.
OpenAI CEO also underlined that technology can develop in a negative direction. That's why he acknowledged the risks associated with AI and said they could work closely with governments. “We should not wait for all ethical, legal, and business regulations to pass without thought,” he called for urgency.
During the Senate hearing, Altman also discussed the possibility of artificial intelligence fueling misinformation. On the other hand, he acknowledged that tools like ChatGPT could increase layoffs in certain industries. He said the impact on the economy would therefore be "destructive".
Josh Hawley, a United States senator, compared the importance of technology to the “invention of the atomic bomb” during the trial. He stated that it can be transformative for all humanity, but it can create danger if it is not regulated.
