EU lawmakers fear AI like ChatGPT has already outsmarted regulators

[tangor]

Legislators from the European Parliament believe new laws are needed to regulate general purpose AI systems such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, as the technology is unpredictable and progressing faster than expected.

A group of 12 lawmakers are working on the European Union's AI Act, which they describe as "a risk-based legislative tool, meant to cover specific high-risk use-cases of AI." But as they worked on the bill they reached a "conviction that we also need a complementary set of preliminary rules for the development and deployment of powerful General Purpose AI Systems that can be easily adapted to a multitude of purposes."

The EU is not along in voicing concerns. The UK and US are also looking into policies and recommendations regarding the use of AI. New tech often brings new problems. And politicians are the first to want to solve those! (sigh)
