Over the past several months, tech companies large and small have been racing to burn billions of dollars to bring AI products to market. Some critics worry that the technology will exacerbate social problems such as prejudice and misinformation, in addition to concerns that AI could end human existence.

“There’s no way to put the genie back in the bottle, globally this field has really exploded,” said Senator Cory Booker, one of many lawmakers looking for answers to the question of how to regulate AI.

Meanwhile, Senator Mazie Hirono noted the growing risk of misinformation as the 2024 US election approaches. “Just imagine what would happen if, close to Election Day, people saw a photo of former President Trump being arrested by the New York police spreading quickly online.”

In his first appearance before Congress, Altman suggested the US should consider licensing requirements and testing for developing AI models, especially algorithms that have the ability to persuade or manipulate humans.

At the same time, companies should also have the right to declare that they do not want their data used in AI training, except for documents publicly available on the internet.

The White House is trying to address the regulatory challenge posed by AI, convening top tech CEOs, including Altman, to discuss the issue.

Earlier, Reuters reported that an OpenAI employee recently proposed the creation of a US AI licensing agency, possibly called the Office of AI Infrastructure Safety and Security (OASIS).
