Safety

OpenAI has expressed support for three Senate bills focused on the safety and accessibility of artificial intelligence.
The endorsed bills, including the Future of AI Innovation Act, the CREATE AI Act and the NSF AI Education Act, each address distinct aspects of AI. Together, they reflect a concerted effort to guide the development of AI in a way that is both responsible and inclusive.

This legislation <a href="https://www.young.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/April-17-2024-Future-of-AI-Innovation-Act-Section-by-Section-Summary-FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">aims</a> to solidify congressional support for the United States AI Safety Institute, a body dedicated to developing best practices for the safe deployment of frontier AI systems. 
However, the CREATE AI Act formalizes the creation of an initiative to democratize access to AI research resources. This democratization is crucial for fostering innovation and ensuring that the benefits of AI advancements are widely distributed.
In addition to supporting the development and democratization of AI, OpenAI is backing the NSF AI Education Act. This bill focuses on strengthening the AI workforce and enhancing educational opportunities related to AI tools.

OpenAI’s support for the legislation follows a letter addressed to OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, by a group of Senate Democrats, joined by an independent lawmaker, seeking <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-lawmakers-letter-open-ai-requesting-government-access">clarification on the company’s protocols</a> for ensuring safety and its treatment of whistleblowers within the organization.

As AI continues to evolve, policymakers worldwide are increasingly exploring the need for regulatory frameworks to govern its development and deployment.
In a recent warning, United Kingdom officials highlighted the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ai-regulated-medicine-nuclear-power-uk-minister">need for robust regulatory frameworks</a> to govern AI development, likening it to the rigorous standards applied to medicine and nuclear power. 
Simultaneously, another British official issued a stark warning, urging swift action to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ai-could-threaten-humanity-in-two-years-says-uk-advisor">prevent uncontrolled AI growth</a> from posing an existential threat within the next two years.
As the European Union’s&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/chatgpt-midjourney-ai-tools-make-it-into-european-agenda">Artificial Intelligence Act nears completion</a>, EU lawmakers are taking a proactive stance on AI regulation. Regulators are now considering a measure that would require explicit <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/eu-officials-want-all-ai-generated-content-labeled">labeling of content produced by AI</a> systems.
