Altman said he had “many concerns” about the EU AI Act, which is currently being finalized by lawmakers.

Regulators and Tech Experts Call for Swift Action to Control AI Hype.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is concerned about the unpredictability and inexplicability of AI models, which could pose a challenge to companies creating and marketing these tools, and federal regulators tasked with protecting consumers who use them. FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya warned that AI developers would likely run into trouble with his agency if they oversell what AI is able to achieve. He also urged companies to think hard about how their technology will affect people’s mental health, particularly kids and teenagers. Bedoya also warned that under current law, companies won’t be able to defend themselves from consumer complaints by saying their AI system developed unanticipated knowledge or skills.
