"Google and OpenAI Rush to Launch New AI Tools, Despite Being Unfinished"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post
Big Tech companies like Google, OpenAI, and Amazon have recently launched new artificial intelligence (AI) products, but these tools have already shown flaws and mistakes, indicating that they are being rushed to market before they are fully ready. The hypercompetitive race to dominate generative AI technology, which can write humanlike text and produce realistic images, has led companies to prioritize getting more users to generate data for improvement, despite the risks. Concerns range from biased and offensive statements to longer-term fears of AI surpassing human intelligence. Regulators are taking notice, with Congress holding hearings and proposing legislation, and the European Union and UK planning regulations. However, there is a need to balance regulation with innovation and beneficial tech development.
