OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made his first official appearance before congress in a hearing where he and other experts asked for immediate government regulation for AI.
Dubbed a “historic” session by Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, the proceedings focused on understanding the potential threats posed by generative AI models such as ChatGPT and how lawmakers should approach regulation.
He advocated for the establishment of a federal oversight agency with the authority to issue and revoke development liscenses, stated that he believed creators should be compensated when their work is used to train an AI system, and agreed that consumers who suffer harm using AI products should be entitled to sue the developer.
