OPENAI's ChatGPT, which has been the buzz of the town since its launch, is currently in trouble. In a recent update, Open AI CEO Sam Altman stated that the firm may leave Europe if it does not comply with the European Union's impending artificial intelligence (AI) laws. However, he said that the company would first try to comply with the new regulations in Europe, and if not complying, the company would exit Europe.
If the reports are to be believed, the European Union is developing a preliminary set of regulations for artificial intelligence. The companies using generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, would have to reveal the copyrighted materials that were used to construct the systems, according to the first drafts.
“The current draft of the EU AI Act would be over-regulating, but we have heard it’s going to get pulled back,” he told Reuters. “They are still talking about it,” he added.
Earlier this month, the EU legislators were able to agree on the act's draught. The exact contents of the law will now be worked out during a discussion between the representatives of the Parliament, Council, and Commission, said a Reuters report.
"There's so much they could do, like changing the definition of general-purpose AI systems," Altman further explained. “There’s a lot of things that could be done,” he added.
Legislators have proposed the term "general purpose AI system" to describe AI systems with multiple uses, such as generative AI models like Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.
Meanwhile, the ChatGPT seems to be having a hard time as Italy had put a temporary ban over the privacy concerns which was later removed. Additionally, tech giants like Apple, Samsung, and others have reportedly banned the use of AI tools in order to keep their confidential data intact.
