We are too,\u201d OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified at a Senate hearing Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Altman proposed the formation of a U.S. or global agency that would license the most powerful AI systems and have the authority to \u201ctake that license away and ensure compliance with safety standards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His San Francisco-based startup rocketed to public attention after it released ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT is a free chatbot tool that answers questions with convincingly human-like responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What started out as a panic among educators about ChatGPT\u2019s use to cheat on homework assignments has expanded to broader concerns about the ability of the latest crop of \u201cgenerative AI\u201d tools to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/artificial-intelligence-misinformation-deepfakes-2024-election-trump-59fb51002661ac5290089060b3ae39a0\">mislead people, spread falsehoods<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/artificial-intelligence-images-rights-1c6d9e0e260e2d135a3e3bf98d5493df\">violate copyright protections<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ai-hollywood-writers-strike-artificial-intelligence-dc71c4cabcca0ee1b1afe0050d392a36\">upend some jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while there\u2019s no immediate sign that Congress will craft sweeping new AI rules, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tech-ai-artificial-intelligence-europe-eu-15ac394679519084478e15217c156abc\">as European lawmakers are doing<\/a>, the societal concerns brought Altman and other <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ai-artificial-intelligence-white-house-harris-578d623e473b0eeb3fa3e4728d7e9868\">tech CEOs to the White House<\/a> earlier this month and have led U.S. agencies to promise to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/artificial-intelligence-ai-tools-ftc-regulators-crackdown-lina-khan-0f63f6a9ec4e7c4acc37a2c1bd8c280f\">crack down on harmful<\/a> AI products that break existing civil rights and consumer protection laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Democrat who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee\u2019s subcommittee on privacy, technology and the law, opened the hearing with a recorded speech that sounded like the senator, but was actually a voice clone trained on Blumenthal\u2019s floor speeches and reciting a speech written by ChatGPT after he asked the chatbot to compose his opening remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result was impressive, said Blumenthal, but he added, \u201cWhat if I had asked it, and what if it had provided, an endorsement of Ukraine surrendering or (Russian President) Vladimir Putin\u2019s leadership?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blumenthal said AI companies ought to be required to test their systems and disclose known risks before releasing them, and expressed particular concern about how future AI systems could destabilize the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pressed on his own worst fear about AI, Altman mostly avoided specifics. But he later proposed that a new regulatory agency should impose safeguards that would block AI models that could \u201cself-replicate and self-exfiltrate into the wild\u201d \u2014 hinting at futuristic concerns about advanced AI systems that could manipulate humans into ceding control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Co-founded by Altman in 2015 with backing from tech billionaire Elon Musk with a mission focused on safety, OpenAI has evolved from a nonprofit research lab into a business. Its other popular AI products including the image-maker DALL-E. Microsoft has invested billions of dollars into the startup and has integrated its technology into its own products, including <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/technology-science-microsoft-corp-business-software-dd445694f34a6b7a0444db9988330229\">its search engine Bing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Altman is also planning to embark on a worldwide tour this month to national capitals and major cities across six continents to talk about the technology with policymakers and the public. On the eve of his Senate testimony, he dined with dozens of U.S. lawmakers, several of whom <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ap.org\/Altman%20also%20this%20month%20was%20planning%20to%20embark%20on%20a%20worldwide%20tour%20across%20six%20continents%20to%20talk%20about%20the%20technology%20with%20policymakers%20and%20the%20public.%20On%20the%20eve%20of%20his%20Senate%20testimony,%20he%20dined%20Monday%20with%20dozens%20of%20U.S.%20lawmakers,%20several%20of%20whom%20told%20CNBC%20they%20were%20impressed%20by%20his%20comments.\">told CNBC<\/a> they were impressed by his comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also testifying will be IBM\u2019s chief privacy and trust officer, Christina Montgomery, and Gary Marcus, a professor emeritus at New York University who was among a group of AI experts who <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/artificial-intelligence-chatgpt-risks-petition-elon-musk-steve-wozniak-534f0298d6304687ed080a5119a69962\">called on OpenAI and other tech firms to pause their development<\/a> of more powerful AI models for six months to give society more time to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ai-godfather-google-geoffrey-hinton-yoshua-bengio-chatgpt-5f7dc295a576833dfc3378071b5716f2\">consider the risks<\/a>. The letter was a response to the March release of OpenAI\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/chatgpt-gpt4-artificial-intelligence-chatbots-307e867e3fe4464be9c4f884909f3977\">latest model, GPT-4<\/a>, described as more powerful than ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cArtificial intelligence will be transformative in ways we can\u2019t even imagine, with implications for Americans\u2019 elections, jobs, and security,\u201d said the panel\u2019s ranking Republican, Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri. \u201cThis hearing marks a critical first step towards understanding what Congress should do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of tech industry leaders have said they welcome some form of AI oversight but have cautioned against what they see as overly heavy-handed rules. In a copy of her prepared remarks, IBM\u2019s Montgomery asks Congress to take a \u201cprecision regulation\u201d approach, and disagreed with proposals by Altman and Marcus for an AI-focused regulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis means establishing rules to govern the deployment of AI in specific use-cases, not regulating the technology itself,\u201d Montgomery said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Altman proposed the formation of a U.S. or global agency that would license the most powerful AI
