Even senators like to play with AI.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal employed artificial intelligence tools to compose and deliver remarks on his behalf at a committee hearing Tuesday focused on oversight of AI, showcasing the astounding and unnerving potential of the hot new technology as lawmakers begin writing rules to govern its use.
Mr. Blumenthal said he did not write or speak the remarks but let the AI chatbot ChatGPT serve as his ventriloquist. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, whose company released its first prototype of ChatGPT in November, waited his turn to speak before the privacy, technology, and law subcommittee of the Senate panel as the statement was read out.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT is one of the generative AI tools that may produce content — text, audio, and images — in response to user queries. Big Tech companies have rushed to develop the new tech and many different businesses are adopting it. While the AI tools have positive potential benefits, Mr. Blumenthal focused on the nightmare scenario he foresaw resulting from people using the tools to impersonate him.
