JAKARTA - After visiting South Korea, Japan, and several other Asian countries, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is scheduled to be independent in Singapore, Indonesia and Australia before returning to the United States.
He will convey optimism regarding the prospect of global coordination in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) after touring several of the country's capitals. This Microsoft Corp-backed startup is trying to take advantage of its interest in the AI generative and affect fast-growing technology regulations.
"At the start of this tour, I was skeptical that global cooperation to reduce existential risk would be realized in the short term, but now, I feel quite optimistic that we can do it," Sam Altman told students in Tokyo.
The regulator is working on adjusting existing regulations and creating new guidelines for regulating the use of AI's genratives, which are capable of creating text and images, and raising excitement and concerns about their potential to change various industries.
The European Union has accelerated the process of making the AI Act which is expected to become law this year, while the United States tends to adapt existing laws to AI rather than creating new legislation.
Altman visited Japan in April, met with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and said he was considering opening an office in the country.
"All conversations went well," Altman said on Monday without providing further details.
Japan is considered to be lagging behind in the type of AI service that currently generates enthusiasm among consumers, even though major Japanese manufacturing companies have invested in automation technology.
"Here, there is a long history of cooperation between humans and machines," Altman said.
