The Growing Debate Over AI Regulation

During the US Senate hearings on AI, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, called for regulatory interventions by the government to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models. Some observers see this as an attempt to consolidate OpenAI's lead over the rest of the industry in large language models, while others see it as an admission that the industry is already running out of control. Whenever a CEO calls for regulation, it usually means something is up. The tech industry needs to come up with regulations before the government tries to step in because there's no way a non-industry person can understand what is possible.
