OpenAI CEO and U.S. House Speaker Discuss AI Risks and Potential

As Europe leads in AI regulation, U.S. lawmakers grapple with potential risks and benefits of the technology.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson met to discuss the risks and potential of artificial intelligence (AI).
Europe is currently ahead of the U.S. in drafting AI regulations, while a polarized U.S. Congress has struggled to pass effective AI regulation.
Concerns around AI include its potential to disrupt democratic processes, enable fraud, and lead to job loss.
Altman expressed excitement about the legislative process and the potential to balance the benefits of AI while mitigating its risks.
President Biden has signed an executive order requiring AI developers to share safety test results with the federal government if their systems could pose a risk to national security, economy, or public safety.
