Members of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee debated how lawmakers should regulate this powerful technology in a hearing on Tuesday.
“If this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong and we want to be vocal about that,” said OpenAI CEO Samuel Altman. “We want to work with the government to prevent that from happening.” “I expect there to be a significant impact on jobs but exactly what that impact looks like is very difficult to predict,” said Altman. “My worst fears are that we cause significant, we the field, the technology, the industry, cause significant harm to the world.”
“It’s one of my areas of greatest concern,” said Altman. “The more general ability of these models to manipulate, to persuade, to provide sort of one on one interactive disinformation… I do think some regulation would be quite wise on this topic.”
