OpenAI successfully lobbied the EU to amend AI legislation

ChatGPT maker OpenAI has lobbied the European Union to ensure that its GPT and Dall-E applications would not automatically be considered high risk. That passage has now been deleted.

Time has put an OpenAI ‘whitepaper’ online, in which the company argues that while its applications like GPT and Dall-E enable high-risk use cases, they are not automatically high-risk themselves. If that is the case, then those applications must comply with stricter rules.

The conscious passage about general AI applications, which would include GPT and Dall-E, is now no longer included in the proposal for the AI ​​Act. This makes it seem that OpenAI’s lobby to have fewer rules has been successful. It is unknown why the passage disappeared.

The European Union’s AI Act is the world’s first major artificial intelligence legislation, and other countries are watching the legislative process with interest. OpenAI consistently advocates legislation on artificial intelligence, but has previously publicly opposed the AI ​​Act.
