Alarm bells on the risks of advanced AI systems
Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, testified at a hearing on the oversight and regulation of AI held by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee today, raising concerns over the potential dangers of AI technology. expressed. He stressed the need for government regulation.
Altman has warned that the AI industry “could cause great harm to the world” and said he would work with governments to try to avoid such a situation.
If this technology goes wrong, I think it goes very wrong, and I want to be very vocal about that. We would like to work with the government to prevent such a situation from happening.

He argued that government regulatory intervention would be important to mitigate the risks of an “increasingly powerful model.” He advocated the establishment of a new supervisory body with the power to issue and revoke licenses for the development of highly capable AI systems. He also said that before any new AI system is released to the public, an independent expert audit should be conducted to ensure it meets the stated safety standards.
Altman also worries that content created by generative AI, such as ChatGPT, could affect next year’s presidential election, adding that it’s important to put some kind of regulation in place. He also said he would grant compensation to creators if their work was used to train AI, and the right to sue the developer if consumers were harmed by AI products.
Regulation according to the ability of AI models
Altman, on the other hand, believes that burdensome regulatory requirements should not be imposed on AI development and research that fall short of OpenAI models.
He proposed that AI models performing specific functions be subject to strict regulation by defining “thresholds of competence.” The following examples are shown as AI models that may be subject to licensing.
- AI models that can persuade, manipulate, and influence human behavior and beliefs
- AI model to help create new biologics
IBM’s thoughts on regulation
Christina Montgomery, director of IBM’s privacy and trust division, also testified at the hearing. While most of the witnesses agreed on the need for privacy protection, increased government oversight, third-party audits, and AI regulation, Mr. Montgomery opposed the creation of a new federal agency. statement. For IBM, she said, she urged Congress to “adopt a more rigorous regulatory approach” to AI.
This means establishing rules to oversee the deployment of AI in specific use cases, rather than regulating the technology itself.
First, Montgomery calls for Congress to clearly define AI risks and apply “different rules to different risks.” He argued that the strictest rules should be applied to “use cases that pose the greatest risks to people and society”. He said companies deploying “AI that disseminates misinformation about elections” should be held accountable immediately.
AI development cannot be stopped
Richard Blumenthal, chair of the Privacy, Technology and Law Subcommittee, which hosted the hearing, emphasized that regulation of AI is essential because it is impossible to try to stop its development.
The world will not wait and the global scientific community will not pause. Sticking your head in the sand when you have an opponent moving forward is not the answer.
