Sam Altman has “many concerns” about the EU's AI Act coming in 2024 and says that OpenAI “will try to comply, but if we can't comply we will cease operating”
claiming that by crafting a clear framework, Europe is holding up the rollout of generative #AI. To the contrary!

very productive week of conversations in europe about how to best regulate AI! we are excited to continue to operate here and of course have no plans to leave.
There is no point in attempting blackmail — claiming that by crafting a clear framework, Europe is holding up the rollout of generative #AI. To the contrary! With the “AI Pact” I proposed, we aim to assist companies in their preparation to EU AI Act 🇪🇺 [Gif: Is that a threat?]
