OpenAI CEO's threat to leave EU over AI regulations causes backlash.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has threatened that the company may leave the EU if the bloc "overregulates" AI. Altman has been meeting with top politicians in Europe to discuss the future of AI and progress of ChatGPT. EU lawmakers responsible for shaping the AI Act disputed Altman's claims, stating that they do not see any dilution happening anytime soon. Altman cancelled a scheduled visit to Brussels, where the EU AI Act is being drafted. OpenAI first clashed with regulators in March when Italian data regulator Garante shut the app down domestically, accusing OpenAI of flouting European privacy rules.
