Sam Altman, the chief executive officer of the US technology company OpenAI, the creator of the currently discussed artificial intelligence program or tool ChatGPT, appeared in the US Senate. Sam Altman testifies before the Senate Privacy, Technology and Legislation Subcommittee on what laws are needed to protect US citizens. Appearing before the Senate panel, Altman answered several questions. He was asked about various aspects of artificial intelligence.
According to the Odyssey News , the app created by Open AI, called ChatGPT, can write essays, scripts, poems and solve computer coding in a human-like manner. Millions of people have used the app since its launch in November last year. But there are also concerns about the rapid development of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can become increasingly powerful, Altman told the Senate. So the government should have control in this sector.
US politicians are looking for answers to the potential threat of AI. They are worried about AI around the 2024 presidential election.
Several experts, including Geoffrey Hinton, known as the ‘godfather’ of the AI sector, have recently expressed concern about the rapidly developing AI technology. However, in addition to the threat posed by AI, the hearing also raised the issue of the good that can be done for society as a result of progress in this sector.
Regarding the worst impact of the development of artificial intelligence, Altman said that he believes that the development of AI will have a significant impact on jobs. But what exactly that effect will be, is hard to predict. He also said that chatgpt should be considered as a tool or a program. It is not right to think of it as an animal. “It’s a tool that people have a lot of control over,” Altman said. He also said, it is a tool of work.
The CEO of OpenAI also said, looking back at the history of technology, it can be seen that with the improvement of technology, our standard of living also increases. He is hopeful that future jobs will be even better.
