California congressman proposes AI reform
A California congressman is pushing for AI reform.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Rep. Tony Cardenas said he’s worried AI tools like ChatGPT could threaten democracy, rip off content creators, and enhance scams.
Cardenas is not the first. For years, there have been lawmakers attempting to regulate the industry in some way, but as one expert put it, there was little press and AI wasn’t top of mind. That’s since changed.
“My worst fears are that we cause significant we, the field, the technology, the industry cause significant harm to the world. I think that could happen in a lot of different ways,” Open AI CEO Sam Altman said.
CEO of OpenAI, which owns ChatGPT, expressed concerns over AI technology himself in a May congressional hering. He’s hoping for regulation.
