The planned legislation in the region will present hurdles for ‘General All Purpose AI Systems’, which include ChatGPT. The organization sought to ensure that the technology could be trusted- Commission digital chief Margrethe Vestager said that trust is important when it comes to artificial intelligence. The EU has been making landmark rules to develop new norms to ensure trust in AI. Alman said at a London industry event that OpenAI will ‘try to comply’ with regulations as long as it can, but expressed concerns over the organization changing the general purpose of AI systems.
