OpenAI chief set to call for greater regulation of artificial intelligence

OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman will tell US lawmakers on Tuesday that regulation of artificial intelligence must allow companies to be flexible and adapt to new technological developments, as the industry faces growing scrutiny by regulators around the world.

Altman, whose company created AI chatbot ChatGPT, will say that “the regulation of AI is essential” as he testifies for the first time before Congress on Tuesday.
