Senators in the United States today wanted clear answers from experts on what threats artificial intelligence (AI) can pose. – My biggest fear is that it can do significant damage to the world, said the head of OpenAI, Samuel Altman, about artificial intelligence. He says that AI is becoming more powerful and therefore wants the authorities to limit it, according to the BBC. – Exploding globally The company OpenAI is behind the app ChatGPT, which has amazed the world by being able to write articles, write poems and do data coding, almost as well as a human. – There is no way to get this genie into the bottle. This is exploding globally, Senator Cory Booker said of artificial intelligence, according to Reuters. It is clear that the US senators are also struggling to understand whether artificial intelligence can be limited, and if so how. ChatGPT shows how quickly new technology suddenly gives new opportunities, but also challenges the world in ways that have not previously been thought of. The Presidential Election – This is your chance, man. Speak in clear English – I want it concretely, Republican Senator Ted Kennedy told Professor Emeritus Gary Marcus. Kennedy asked the experts to explain which four changes they would introduce if they were “kings or queens for a day”.

The US fears not least that artificial intelligence could be a threat to the presidential election next year. This was also one of the possible dangers Altman talked about. He also warned against people’s personal opinions being manipulated and that artificial intelligence could limit access to certain information, writes the Independent newspaper. In Norway, KI has, among other things, caused concern about cheating in school, and that it can get in the way of good learning processes. Competitive advantage Recently, an employee of OpenAI proposed forming a US licensing agency for artificial intelligence. How and for what purpose AI should be regulated is an important question, says AI enthusiast and former journalist in Teknisk Ukeblad, Sebastian Storvik. – If the purpose is for “mankind’s safety” then I am exclusively positive, then it is only about how it is regulated, says Storvik, who usually works for the mobile company Ice. However, the purpose of regulation can also be to secure a competitive advantage. Sebastian Storvik believes that we must keep our eyes open to the fact that regulation of AI can also create a competitive advantage for some. – OpenAI is now in a position of power both with a technological advantage and an economic advantage over many. Together with Microsoft, they will be able to influence regulations to their own advantage – and to the disadvantage of smaller companies, says Storvik. He points out that here in the West we can limit artificial intelligence by regulating “too hard”, with time-consuming and expensive requirements. – There will still be players in the rest of the world with an interest in continuing, who can continue without regulation. Thus, the only thing we will be able to achieve will be to give the lead to someone else, says Storvik. – Do you share Altman’s fear that a lack of limitation could lead to disaster? – I have felt fear ever since I learned about atomic bombs. Whether artificial intelligence will turn out to be a calculator or an atomic bomb remains to be seen, it could very well be both, says Storvik. He believes that those who win the race will end up with power anyway. – We can brake our own car, but we cannot stop the race, says Storvik.
