OpenAI sees AI regulation as necessary

Experts emphasize that it is important to allow the development of AI models below a significant threshold without large regulations focusing on small teams, so as not to limit the research and advancements of independent researchers. On the other hand, more powerful systems must be democratically supervised by society. 

In general, the statement brings more of the same that has already been argued by defenders of artificial intelligence. Executives believe AI can bring benefits, improving areas such as education, creative work and personal productivity, but they also highlight the risks of impeding its development.
