The European Union’s draft law to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) must be updated to include overarching controls on chatbots like ChatGPT, a group of European Parliament members wrote in an open letter shared Monday.
The European Union has been out front globally in its effort to regulate AI. It was expected the AI Act, which was proposed by the European Commission in 2021 and has been under debate since, would be voted on in the coming months.
But the act was written before the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in November and other generative AI tools, which can masquerade as human intelligence and converse with adults and children.
