OpenAI CEO Threatens to Leave EU Over Proposed AI Regulation

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has threatened to move his company out of the European Union if the proposed AI regulations are too strict. The regulations would classify AI into three risk categories and require companies to comply with certain requirements. Altman has said that the language used in the proposed law may affect OpenAI's ChatGPT and large language model GPT-4. Altman has been promoting OpenAI alongside AI-friendly regulation during a worldwide tour and has highlighted the benefits of regulation, stating that it could include new safety requirements. However, Altman is also wary of anything that would restrict users or harm smaller companies.
