As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, more and more industry insiders warn that AI may pose an extinction risk to humans. Recently, in an open letter, more than 1,000 industry executives and experts, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, called for a moratorium on the development of advanced AI for the next 6 months. They worry that advanced AI could pose a significant threat to society and humanity.
On the other hand, Sam Altman, founder of ChatGPT, accused the EU's AI bill of over-regulation and threatened to withdraw from the European market. The remarks drew criticism from several European politicians. It is worth mentioning that the EU is advancing the AI Act, which may become the world's first law and regulations to broadly regulate AI, which will regulate emerging AI technologies such as ChatGPT.
