AI developers are ramping up efforts to win over the hearts and minds of officials in Europe and the United States, hoping to sway governments as they weigh high-stake regulatory frameworks for the ever more powerful technology.
Flush with cash, the firms are also wooing the general public, insisting that artificial intelligence will be a force for good — and not a destroyer of jobs or an existential threat for humanity.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI unveiled this month a 13-page “Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age” that calls for new taxation and expanded safety nets to ensure society withstands the arrival of superintelligent systems.
It has even bought TBPN, a technology-focused talk show, to help shape the narrative.
But the policy document also came just days after a public backlash forced the company to halt plans for a sexually explicit chatbot.
OpenAI has also faced legal challenges from families of teenagers who say ChatGPT caused harm and even suicide among young people, prompting the company to introduce an age-verification system.
