"Honestly, it's disheartening to see Congress let these CEOs pave the way for carte blanche, whatever they want, the terms that are most favorable to them," Noble said.At Tuesday's Senate hearing, lawmakers made comparisons to the social media era, noting their surprise that industry executives showed up asking for regulation. But experts who spoke with CNBC said industry calls for regulation are nothing new and often serve an industry's own interests.
Experts cautioned that the kinds of regulation Altman suggested, like an agency to oversee AI, could actually stall regulation and entrench incumbents.
