Yesterday’s testimony by Open AI’s CEO Sam Altman at the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law shows the importance of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and the sensitivity surrounding its development. Along with tools launched by other firms, ChatGPT has democratized technology by bringing tremendous computing power to search, data analysis, video and audio generation, software development, and many other areas. Generative AI has the power to alter how people find information, generate new audio and videos, create new products, and respond in real time to emerging events.
