“In general, it is important to weigh the benefits of AI against the risks to ensure that the technology is used responsibly and ethically. Countries must legislate to ban ChatGPT and other forms of artificial intelligence (AI). AI has the potential to fundamentally change the way people live and work, but it is necessary to guard against the significant risks it entails”, defends the PAN, recalling that within the European Union the In recent years, work has been done on regulations for artificial intelligence.
