Before taking such a step, OpenAI will first try to comply with the European requirements as soon as they are determined, said Sam Altman, co-founder and head of the Microsoft holding OpenAI on Wednesday at an event in London.
“The current draft of the EU AI law would be over-regulation, but we have been told that it is to be withdrawn.” The proposal is still the subject of ongoing discussions.
Digitization State Secretary Florian Tursky (ÖVP) saw the EU’s path confirmed by the reaction of OpenAI. “OpenAI’s reaction shows that we are on the right track. Europe must not allow itself to be put under pressure by US corporations”, Tursky said in a statement on Thursday. It is now important to quickly come to a smart regulation, “the innovation in Europe enables mass surveillance or social scoring using AI applications is prohibited”.
At the beginning of the month, the EU agreed on a draft set of rules. The AI regulation law stipulates that companies developing so-called generative AI like ChatGPT must disclose any copyrighted material used. Representatives of the Parliament, the EU Council and the Commission are currently finalizing the details. In addition to the consultations on regulation, the EU wants to persuade companies to make a voluntary commitment. To this end, the Commission is planning a framework agreement with the Internet group Google and other companies.
With the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI triggered the current hype about Generative AI. It simulates human interaction and can create text, images or videos using just a few keywords.
