They're trying to build a moat out of government regulation (aka rent-seeking). In May, their CEO went before congress and asked for it. Soon after, the media started churning out AI fearmongering articles. I expect regulation bills will be proposed soon.
- rmbyrro 3y agoThere's a good chance that the fear of China taking over the AI space worldwide may end up being stronger than OpenAI's push for regulation. Politicians know the later is real, and they also know that the "Terminator" fear is unfounded, at least for now. At least in the US, I doubt very much Congress will cater to OpenAI. They know it's going to undermine the prospects of the entire AI industry in the US and its long term competitivity in the international arena.

- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 3y agoYup - right now, they're throwing all their development efforts at trying to enhance "safety." The goal is to do it without significantly degrading model performance for the majority of use cases. When the inevitable regulation starts rolling out, OpenAI expects their lobotomized models to outperform competing lobotomized models, because they'll have a huge head start (and probably will have had a hand in guiding the legislation as well).
