Amid news of OpenAI possibly leaving Europe due to regulators tightening the noose on the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the firm’s chief executive Sam Altman said on Friday that they are excited to continue to operate in the region and have no plans to leave.

Altman tweeted on Friday, “Very productive week of conversations in Europe about how to best regulate AI! We are excited to continue to operate here and of course, have no plans to leave.”

The OpenAI CEO spent the past week crisscrossing Europe, meeting policymakers in France, Spain, Poland, Germany, and the UK to discuss the future of AI and the progress of ChatGPT.
