The Urgent Need for International AI Regulation and Oversight
The leaders of OpenAI, the research lab that developed the chatbot ChatGPT, have called for an international watchdog to regulate the risks of "superintelligent" AI technology, which they say "will be more powerful than other technologies humanity has had to contend with in the past." The call for regulation comes amid growing concerns over the potential risks of powerful AI systems, including the spread of misinformation and privacy violations. The OpenAI leaders warn that "it's conceivable that within the next 10 years, AI systems will exceed expert skill level in most domains, and carry out as much productive activity as one of today's largest corporations."
