industry. artificial intelligence or ai. the ceo of openai testified before the senate judiciary committee today. the company is behind chatgpt. that s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ai. there are multiple apps and programs you can use to create art, pictures, phone calls, even to impersonate people s voices. the list of potential misuses of ai is getting longer every day and leads to numerous questions about how and what and whether to regulate. nick watt takes a closer look at some of the possibly life changing benefits and also terrifying risks posed by ai brought up in today s hearing. my worst fears are that we cause significant, we, the field, the technology, the industry, cause significant harm to the world. today s is that the hearing is a crucial step in humanity s effort to prevent that harm and to reign in the handful of players controlling this tech. i think there needs to be incredible scrutiny on us and our competitors. his company created
