It doesn’t look like it, but Sam Altman can and wants to be a threat to Europe. The founder of OpenAI and ChatGPT has just finished his tour of the European continent. On the programme: meetings with different leaders, such as in France with Emmanuel Macron, and above all debates on the future of artificial intelligence in the world.
But one thing worries Sam Altman: the future European regulation on artificial intelligence (AI Act) drawn up several months ago by the European Commission, whose approval is expected by the end of the year. According financial times, Sam Altman indicated in London that OpenAI will try to comply with these future rules. But the co-founder was especially reminded that not everything was going to be possible.
“No interest in blackmailing”
A blow of pressure that Thierry Breton, European commissioner in charge of digital, did not like at all. On Twitter, the manager tweeted, stating that he “had no point in blackmailing.”
Still on Twitter, Sam Altman still wanted to qualify his earlier comments, saying the talks with European leaders had been “very productive.”
Avoid AI abuse
Ultimately, the AI Law should allow a framework to be imposed on artificial intelligence to prevent the abuses that are currently observed. The details of the text have not yet been revealed. Players in the sector fear in particular a rating system, which would indicate the degree of danger of an AI.
Deepfakes, for example, would be considered very high risk and potentially prohibited. ChatGPT could be considered a “high risk” artificial intelligence.
The law should also require companies to publicly disclose their algorithms and how they use user data and copyrighted materials.
