OpenAI chief concerned that AI might compromise elections

The CEO of OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, told a Senate panel on Tuesday the use of artificial intelligence to interfere with election integrity is a “significant area of concern”, adding that it is an area that needs regulation.

“I think we also need rules, guidelines, on what’s expected in terms of disclosure from a company providing a model,” Sam Altman said about elections and AI, adding “I am nervous about it.”

Speaking before Congress for the first time, Altman suggested that in general, the US should consider licensing and testing requirements for development of AI models.
