“I worry about that,” CEO Sam Altman said of the potential use of AI to interfere with elections, stressing the need for additional rules and guidelines to govern the field of artificial intelligence.

In recent months, companies large and small have raced to bring AI products to market, spurred by the ChatGPT craze. Some critics worry that the technology will exacerbate social harms, including deepening prejudice and spreading misinformation.
“There is no way to fully regulate AI, especially when the AI craze is exploding globally,” said Sen. Cory Booker, one of many lawmakers questioning how best to regulate AI.
Senator Mazie Hirono noted the risk of widespread misinformation as the 2024 election approaches. Speaking before the US Congress for the first time, Altman suggested that the US should consider licensing and testing requirements for developing AI models.
When asked to comment on what AI should be licensed, he said a model that could persuade or manipulate a person's beliefs would be a "fine line to consider".
He also said companies should have the right to say they do not want their data used to train AI, something that is also being discussed in the US Congress.
The White House has convened top tech CEOs, including Sam Altman, to address the issue of AI. US lawmakers are also working to find solutions to enhance the benefits of technology and national security while limiting the misuse of AI.
An OpenAI employee recently proposed that the US create an AI licensing body, possibly called the Office of AI Infrastructure Safety and Security, or OASIS.
OpenAI is backed by Microsoft. Altman is also calling for global cooperation on AI and encouraging companies to comply with safety regulations.
Christina Montgomery, IBM's chief trust and privacy officer, has called on Congress to focus regulation on areas with the greatest potential for social harm.
