According to a report from Time, the company aimed to reduce its regulatory burden. Interestingly, while OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman publicly advocated for stronger AI guardrails, the company privately sought changes to the law. The AI Act, expected to be enforced in 2025, aims to regulate high-risk AI systems like facial recognition software and mandates transparency regarding data used to train AI models. OpenAI argued for provisions allowing quick system updates for safety reasons and certain exemptions for generative AI in education and employment. The CEO argued that OpenAI's general-purpose AI systems, including GPT-3 and Dall-E 2, should not be classified as "high risk," which would subject the company to stringent legal requirements. The controversy underscores the delicate balance between AI regulation and fostering innovation in the industry. #shorts #OpenAI #AIRegulation #EthicsInAI #LobbyingControversy #InnovationvsRegulation
