OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says his company could "cease operating in Europe if the EU gets too tough". Altman is currently in Europe, visiting Paris after London. When he was called before Congress last week in Washington to talk about the same issue of regulating artificial intelligence, Altman made three proposals: a federal agency to control licences; safety standards for high-capability AI models; independent audits of creators.
On the face of it, these do not clash too harshly with the EU's plans already outlined in 2021, which basically sought to ensure AI works for people and is a force for good in society.
But with fears of fake news, video manipulation, robots taking control and our world being driven to an automatic version of hell, there is still much to discuss.
