OpenAI says it has ‘no plans to leave Europe’ a day after threatened withdrawal

“We are happy to continue working here, and of course we have no plans to leave,” Altman said in a tweet on Friday.

The European Union is on track to develop the first international rules governing artificial intelligence. Notably, this move by the EU is also in line with the leaders of the ChatGPT developer OpenAI, which has sought to regulate “high intelligence” AIs, arguing that something equivalent to the International Atomic Energy Agency is needed to protect humans from Humans are suddenly at risk. creating something that has the power to destroy it, according to him The Guardian.

Altman said that the regulations drawn up by the EU, the EU AI law is “overly restrictive”.

After the fear that AI in the future will encroach and eliminate the employment of several workers, causing panic among world leaders, Altman takes a global tour of charismatic and powerful leaders and calms the fear of artificial intelligence ( AI), including that it can destroy industries, flood the Web with misinformation and copyright violations, and rampant racism.

Connecting the EU-Sam Altman

AI-powered ChatGPT, backed by Microsoft, has created new opportunities around AI and the fear surrounding its potential has sparked excitement and alarm – and led to clashes with managers.

In London, Sam Altman angered EU officials after he told reporters that OpenAI would have to “stop working” at the union if future rules were too strict.

OpenAI first ran afoul of regulators in March, when Italian data regulator Garante banned the app domestically, accusing OpenAI of violating European privacy laws. ChatGPT is back online after the company implemented new privacy measures for users.

Microsoft later paid billions of dollars to support OpenAI and now uses the company’s technology in several of its products — sparking competition from Google, which has made similar announcements.

Altman, a 38-year-old rising star in Silicon Valley, has received rave reviews from leaders everywhere from Lagos to London.

But his comments about the AI ​​law, a law aimed at protecting people from technologies such as invasive surveillance, angered the group’s industry chairman Thierry Breton.

He wrote on Twitter that Altman “tried to insult” and said that the EU is trying to help companies prepare for the law, which will not take effect until the end of 2025 at the earliest.

OpenAI said on Thursday it will award 10 equal grants from a $1 million fund for experiments to determine how AI software is governed Altman called the grants “how to democratically determine the behavior of AI systems”.
