Democratic Senator Mark Warner raised concerns about
potential risks posed by AI technology. "Beyond industry commitments,
however, it is also clear that some level of regulation is necessary in this
field," said Warner, who sent letters to the CEOs of OpenAI, Scale AI,
Meta Platforms, Alphabet's Google, Apple, Stability AI, Midjourney, Anthropic,
Percipient.ai, and Microsoft.
"With the increasing use of AI across large swaths of
our economy, and the possibility for large language models to be steadily integrated
into a range of existing systems, from healthcare to finance sectors, I see an
urgent need to underscore the importance of putting security at the forefront
of your work," Warner said.
Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
said he had launched an effort to establish AI rules and address national
security and education concerns, as use of programs like ChatGPT becomes
widespread.
Schumer, a Democrat, said in a statement he had drafted and
circulated a "framework that outlines a new regulatory regime that would
prevent potentially catastrophic damage to our country while simultaneously
making sure the US advances and leads in this transformative technology."
ChatGPT, an AI program that recently grabbed the public's
attention for its ability to write answers quickly to a wide range of queries,
in particular has attracted US lawmakers' attention. It has become the
fastest-growing consumer application in history with more than 100 million
monthly active users.

into AI to gain an edge amid heightened competition in Silicon Valley. © Reuters
