Before considering a withdrawal, OpenAI will try to comply with the regulations in force in Europe once they are established.
London:
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said Wednesday that the ChatGPT maker could consider leaving Europe if it fails to comply with upcoming European Union artificial intelligence (AI) regulations.
The EU is working on what may be the world’s first set of rules to regulate AI. As part of the draft, companies using generative AI tools like ChatGPT must disclose any copyrighted material used to develop their systems.
Before OpenAI considers withdrawing, it will try to comply with regulations in Europe once they are set, Altman said at an event in London.
“The current draft EU AI law would be over-regulatory, but we have heard it will be withdrawn,” he told Portal. “They still talk about it.”
The EU parliamentarians agreed on the draft law earlier this month. Debates are now taking place between representatives of Parliament, Council and Commission to finalize the details of the bill.
“There’s so much they could do, like change the definition of general-purpose AI systems,” Altman said. “There are a lot of things that could be done.”
A general-purpose AI system is a category proposed by lawmakers to account for AI tools with more than one application, such as generative AI models like the Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.
