Read what OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has to say about the company leaving European Union

Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence research startup OpenAI started the AI race in December 2022. The chatbot developed by the company became popular in a short while and caught the eyes of regulators across the world. Several countries including the European Union have already started drafting laws to regulate AI. Responding to these actions, OpenAI chief executive officer Sam Altman said that the ChatGPT-maker might consider leaving Europe. According to a report by Reuters, Altman has also explained that the company will be forced to make such a move if it is unable to comply with the upcoming artificial intelligence (AI) regulations by the EU.

The EU is expected to draft the first set of rules to govern AI globally. Under this law, companies that are deploying generative AI tools (like ChatGPT) will have to disclose any copyrighted material that has been used to develop their systems.
