OpenAI CEO threatens to withdraw from European Market: don't overregulate AI

Beijing, May 25 (Xinhua) OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (Sam Altman) said on Wednesday that the company may consider withdrawing from the European market if it fails to comply with the EU's upcoming artificial intelligence (AI) regulations.

At present, the European Union is working on AI regulations, which may be the first set of regulations to manage AI in the world. The draft regulations show that companies deploying generative AI tools such as ChatGPT must disclose any copyrighted material used to develop their systems.

Mr Altman said at an event in London on Wednesday that OpenAI would try to comply with European regulations before considering an exit. "the current draft EU AI bill will lead to over-regulation, but we have heard that it will pull back," he said. "they are still talking about it."

Earlier this month, EU lawmakers agreed on the draft bill. Representatives of the European Parliament, the Council and the Committee will now debate this to finalize the final details of the bill.

"they can do a lot of things, such as changing the definition of a generic AI system," says Mr Altman. "there are a lot of things that can be done."

General AI system is a category proposed by legislators to describe AI tools with multiple application uses, such as generative AI models such as ChatGPT supported by Microsoft. Phoenix New Media science and technology "AI outpost" will continue to pay attention to this.
