  • Altman spoke at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence.
  • The United States and China are both pouring a lot of money into artificial intelligence.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has said that China should take the lead in formulating artificial intelligence rules to guarantee the security of game-changing new technologies. According to Bloomberg, Sam Altman, who has become the face of contemporary AI because of ChatGPT’s success, is in favor of China taking the lead in regulating AI.

The United States and China are both pouring a lot of money into artificial intelligence right now because it’s a strategic field that will define their intensifying tech competition. Governments throughout the globe are concerned about the effects of AI development on national security.

As Altman put it:

“China has some of the best AI talent in the world and fundamentally, given the difficulties in solving alignment for advanced AI systems, this requires the best minds from around the world.”

Tough to Change China’s Stand

At an event held by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, Sam Altman made the above statement. Due to data and censorship laws, OpenAI’s flagship product ChatGPT is now unavailable in China. Western technology companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter have been unable to operate in the country for years due to these similar rules.

It will be challenging for Western corporations to make advances in AI in the nation, according to experts, because of the country’s stringent data and algorithm rules. Without elaborating on a timeline or a specific model, Altman said on Saturday that OpenAI plans to open-source more of its models in the future as part of its efforts to improve AI safety.

Sam Altman is an investor in more than just OpenAI. Sam is also associated with the disputed WorldCoin initiative. The plan is to use iris scans as a universal form of identification.
