ChatGPT Creator Heads to White House to Discuss AI Dangers
The White House is set to host a meeting on Thursday with top executives from major tech firms to discuss concerns about the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence, and Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI, will be in attendance.
Other attendees include the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic, as well as US Vice President Kamala Harris and other high-ranking government officials.
President Joe Biden’s expectation that tech companies must ensure the safety of their products before making them available to the public will also be discussed.
Concerns about AI technology include privacy violations, bias, and the spread of misinformation and scams.
The meeting comes after the administration sought public comments on accountability measures for AI systems due to concerns about their impact on national security and education.
With more than 100 million monthly active users, ChatGPT has recently garnered attention from lawmakers as the fastest-growing consumer application in history.
While the excitement over the technology’s capabilities is significant, the potential for harm without appropriate safeguards has prompted caution from experts and calls for government oversight.
