According to AppleInsider Altman said the company has no plans to withdraw ChatGPT from the EU, but may have to if the current project on the EU's artificial intelligence (AI) law is passed. Altman said the draft AI law contains excessive provisions that make it impossible for the company to comply with regulations.
EU citizens cannot access ChatGPT if draft AI law is not changed
Draft EU-wide AI legislation has been in development for many years. In 2020, representatives from Apple, Google and Facebook lobbied the EU on their plans to regulate AI. Speaking about the latest emerging issues at an industry event in London (UK), Altman said OpenAI will try to solve the tricks continuously if possible, but for now the proposed law has been approved. plans to introduce greater barriers to so-called general-purpose AI systems, such as ChatGPT.
“There is a lot they can do like change the definition of general purpose AI systems. There's actually a lot that can be done," Altman said.
In the face of any concerns that surfaced about ChatGPT, which prompted Apple to ban employees from using it, the EU was ahead of the game with the certainty that AI could become more reliable. European Commission chief digital officer Margrethe Vestager for 2021 said: “Returning to artificial intelligence, imagination is a must, not a possibility. With these step-by-step rules, the EU is at the forefront of developing new global standards to ensure AI is trusted.”
Altman's statement came not long after the ChatGPT application officially came to iPhone users and appeared in more and more countries and territories.
