Experts and politicians are calling for the regulation of AI models to ensure proper testing and licensing, comparing the technology to an existential threat like nuclear weaponry. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is pushing for the creation of a global body like the International Atomic Energy Agency to oversee the tech. However, libertarians argue that overstating the threat and calling for regulations is just a ploy by leading AI companies to impose authoritarian control and strangle competition via regulation. The regulation of AI may be difficult as open-source AI is freely available, and private models are in the hundreds of thousands.
