"I Also Worry...": OpenAI CEO Sam Altman On AI Regulation

The CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI said on Monday that it was possible to get regulation wrong but it is important and should not be feared, amid global concerns about rapid advances in artificial intelligence, or AI.

Many countries are planning AI regulation, and Britain is hosting a global AI safety summit in November, focusing on understanding the risks posed by the frontier technology and how national and international frameworks could be supported.

Sam Altman, CEO and the public face of the startup OpenAI, backed by Microsoft Corp, said during a visit to Taipei that although he was not that worried about government over-regulation, it could happen.

"I also worry about under-regulation. People in our industry bash regulation a lot. We've been calling for regulation, but only of the most powerful systems," he said.

"Models that are like 10,000 times the power of GPT4, models that are like as smart as human civilization, whatever, those probably deserve some regulation," added Sam Altman, speaking at an AI event hosted by the charitable foundation of Terry Gou, the founder of major Apple supplier Foxconn.

Mr Altman said that in the tech industry there is a "reflexive anti-regulation thing".

"Regulation has been not a pure good, but it's been good in a lot of ways. I don't want to have to make an opinion about every time I step on an airplane how safe it's going to be, but I trust that they're pretty safe and I think regulation has been a positive good there," he said.

"It is possible to get regulation wrong, but I don't think we sit around and fear it. In fact we think some version of it is important."

Terry Gou, currently running as an independent candidate to be Taiwan's next president, sat in the audience, but did not speak at the forum.

Man's Backflip Stunt In Delhi Metro Ends In Epic Fail, Internet Asks ''What Was The Need?''

These days, several videos from the Delhi Metro have created quite a buzz on the internet. Despite repeated reminders about the ban on filming videos inside the train coaches by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), clips of people dancing or performing peculiar stunts inside Delhi metro coaches have seen a massive rise. In fact, it has become a trend. 

In one such video, a man attempted a backflip stunt inside the Delhi Metro only to fail miserably in the end. The video shared on the Instagram profile 'chaman flipper', shows the man getting ready for his big flip, while everybody is watching him. He makes the jump but loses control and ends up falling on his head. At the end of the video, he can be seen holding his head in pain. 

Sharing the post, he wrote, “Metro mein chot lag gai. (I got hurt in the metro).”

Watch the video here:

The video has gone viral, with many social media users criticising his stunt. Many called such activities ''a nuisance'', and wondered why so many people were shooting such videos on the metro. Some others made fun of him, while others expressed concern over his fall.

"Catch this guy and hand him over to the cops. Doing such activities on the metro is risky,'' commented one user.  Another commented, ''Who asked you to perform such stunts when you don't know how to do it? You made a fool of yourself.''

A third joked, ''Due to embarrassment, he must have left the metro at the next station.'' A fourth wrote, ''If you attempt it from that low, this is bound to happen.'' A fifth added, ''Oh God, hope you are okay. If you do this in the metro, you will get hurt only.''

Last month, a video of a digital creator, who is also an athlete, doing somersaults in Bengaluru metro went viral. Filming of reels on the metro's premises has led to controversies and attracted authorities' attention. DMRC has time and again warned commuters not to film videos inside metro coaches but to no avail.

Recently, yet another concerning clip of a couple getting intimate in the Delhi metro surfaced online. In the undated clip, a couple was seen hugging and kissing near the automated doors of a moving metro train.
