EU Watchdog Groups Call for Investigation of Generative AI Risks

EU Watchdog Groups Demand Risk Analysis of Generative AI

Consumer protection groups in the EU are urging regulators to investigate the risks and vulnerabilities posed by generative AI models, specifically mentioning OpenAI's ChatGPT. A coalition of 13 watchdog groups has written to national authorities and even President Joe Biden, emphasizing the need for action to address concerns about disinformation, data harvesting, and manipulation. This call comes shortly after the EU passed the AI Act, a landmark legislation set to regulate AI development and deployment. The US is also considering AI regulations, with bipartisan bills addressing transparency and innovation. UK regulators are advocating for AI regulations comparable to medicine and nuclear power.
