US regulators on Tuesday took the first action towards drawing up new regulations on artificial intelligence that could see the White House put the halts on new technologies such as ChatGPT. The US Department of Commerce put out a call for input from industry actors that would serve to inform the Biden administration in drafting a regulation on AI. US President Joe Biden last week said the jury is still out on whether AI poses a danger to society, but the action on Tuesday signaled that the White House is open to setting some ground rules. Just as food and cars are not released into the market without proper assurance of safety, so too AI systems should provide assurance to the public, government, and businesses that they are fit for purpose." The United States is home to the biggest developers of tech and AI, including Microsoft-backed OpenAI, which created ChatGPT but trails internationally in holding the industry. Biden has urged Congress to pass laws putting strict limits on big tech, but these have little chance of making headway given political divisions among lawmakers. The lack of rules has given Silicon Valley freedom to put out new products and stoked fears that AI technologies will wreak havoc on society before the government can catch up. Last month, billionaire mogul Elon Musk and a range of CEOs and experts called for a pause in the development of powerful AI. OpenAI has asked that its AI systems be subject to rigorous safety evaluations and said that comprehensive regulation of the sector was needed. Our inquiry will inform policies to support AI audits, risk and safety assessments, certifications, and other tools that can create earned trust in AI systems."

A tech mogul has described the sprint to perfect artificial intelligence (AI) as the 21st century's nuclear arms race. Kevin Baragona was one of the more than 1,000 leading experts who signed an open letter on The Future of Life Institute, calling for a pause on the'dangerous race' to develop ChatGPT-like AI. Like the invention of the atomic bomb in the 1940s, Baragona told DailyMail.com'Many

ChatGPT-like AI systems will impact 80 percent of US jobs, with personal financial advisors and brokers, insurers and data processors at the top of the list. The warning comes from researchers at OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania, who investigated whether the technology could complete tasks faster than humans. The team found that about 15 percent of all worker tasks could be completed significantly faster by AI and with the same level of quality.

'Exposure' means how much a job will be impacted by AI Fears of software eliminating human jobs have recently made waves across the globe following the launch of ChatGPT in November and its ability to perform eerily-human professional tasks such as writing emails and resumes.
